Cl: Confidence interval; PM2.5: fine particulate matter. 1 Model was adjusted for height, waist-to-hip ratio, body mass index, dietary-diversity score, years of education (<6 or ≥6 years), and number of assets (<2 or ≥2) (Assets include cars, bikes, motorbikes, televisions, radios, refrigerators, sewing machines, electricity). 2 Model was adjusted for age, waist-to-hip ratio, body mass index, dietary-diversity score, years of education (<6 or ≥6 years), and number of assets (<2 or ≥2) (Assets include cars, bikes, motorbikes, televisions, radios, refrigerators, sewing machines, electricity). 3 Exhaled nitric oxide was log-transformed. Categorical variable beta coefficients were entered into the formula (e^β − 1)*100). The estimates for the categorical measures of exposure can be interpreted as the percent difference in FeNO when comparing those who had the health system to those who did not.
