Note: Results are presented as OR (95% CI) relative to the reference category for the quintile analyses (OR=1.00) or per continuous increase in the linear model. Models were adjusted for sex, age, marital status, region of origin, education, work, standardized household income, smoking habits, number of cigarettes/day, alcohol consumption, number of alcohol glasses/week, physical activity, body mass index, and neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES). —, no data; CI, confidence interval; IQR, interquartile range; Lden, daily average noise level; NDVI, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; OPDTT, oxidative potential (OP) metric with dithiothreitol (DTT) assay; OR, odds ratio.

a

IQR for NDVI 300m: 0.13, OPDTT: 0.27nmolDTT/min/m3.

b

In all two-exposure models, generalized variance inflation factor (GVIF) values were below 1.8.
