Note: All models are adjusted for age, gender, and area-level household income. Models are presented within columns and use interquartile range (IQR) increments for every environmental exposure metric. AOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; dBA, A-weighted decibels; Lden, annual average noise exposure; NDVI, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; NO, nitric oxide; NO2, nitrogen dioxide; PM2.5, particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter <2.5μm.
