OR per IQR of pollutant; the IQR was 0.59 μg/m3 for area PM2.5, 1.08 μg/m3 for local PM2.5, and 1.05 μg/m3 for total PM2.5. GEE models were used with exchangeable correlation within census block group; adjusted for matching factors (age, sex, and study area section), interaction terms of matching factors, population density, SES, distance to large supermarket, and distance to recreation area.
