Exposure domain | Relative risk (95% CI) | Exposure | Age group | Study design | Reference |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Physical activitya | 0.81 (0.76, 0.85) | 11 versus 0 MET hr/week | ≥ 20 years | Meta-analysis | Woodcock et al. 2011 |
Air pollutionb | 1.07 (1.04, 1.09) | Per 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 exposure | ≥ 20 years | Meta-analysis | WHO Regional Office for Europe 2014b |
Noisec | 1.04 (1.00, 1.07) | Daytime traffic noise LAeq,16hr > 60 dB(A) versus < 55 dB(A) | ≥ 25 years | Ecological study | Halonen et al. 2015 |
Heatd | 1.19 (1.16, 1.23) | 99th versus 74th temperature percentile | NA | Time-series study | Guo et al. 2014 |

Notes: CI, confidence interval; dB(A), A-weighted average sound pressure decibel levels; LAeq, A-weighted equivalent sound pressure levels in decibels; MET, metabolic equivalent of task (1 MET = 1 kcal/kg/hr); NA, not available; PM2.5, particulate matter with a diameter ≤ 2.5 μm. aMortality effect of physical activity modeled with a curvilinear exposure response function, applying a 0.25 power transformation. bMortality effect of air pollution modeled with a linear exposure response function. cMortality effect of noise modeled with a logarithmic exposure response function. dMortality effect of heat modeled with a linear exposure response function after determining the minimum mortality percentile (74th temperature percentile) of daily mean temperature at 21.8°C. eMortality effect of greenness [defined as green space surface in percent (%GS)] modeled with a linear exposure response function. |
