Associations between D-dimer and long-term pollutant concentrations. Air pollution metrics are annual average concentrations. Percent differences are reported as 5 µg/m3 increase in PM2.5, 0.7·10−6 m−1 increases in black carbon, 40 ppb increase in NOx, and 17 ppb increase in NO2. Model 1 is adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, gender, exam, and site. Model 2 is adjusted for the covariates in Model 1 as well as education, employment, income, neighborhood SES, recent infection, second-hand smoke exposure, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, BMI, waist–hip ratio, and splines for calendar time. Model 3 is adjusted for the covariates in Model 2 as well as for hypertension, diabetes, and anti-inflammatory medications. BMI indicates body mass index.
