Table 2. Risk for Schizophrenia According to Mean Daily NO2 Exposure During Childhood and Polygenic Risk Score in a Cohort of 23 355 Individuals.

Model Childhood NO2 Exposure, AHR (95% CI)a Polygenic Risk Score, AHR (95% CI)b
Model 1c 1.26 (1.19-1.34) 1.31 (1.26-1.36)
Model 2d 1.27 (1.19-1.35) 1.29 (1.23-1.35)
Model 3e 1.23 (1.15-1.32) 1.29 (1.23-1.34)

Abbreviations: AHR, adjusted hazard ratio; NO2, nitrogen dioxide.

a

The estimate for childhood NO2 measures the increased risk of schizophrenia associated with a 10-μg/m3 increase in mean daily exposure to NO2 during the first 10 years of life.

b

The estimate for polygenic risk score measures the increased risk of schizophrenia associated with a 1-SD increase in polygenic risk score. The estimate was also adjusted for the first 10 genomic principal components.

c

Adjusted for age, sex, and birth year.

d

Adjusted for age, sex, birth year, parental history of psychiatric disorder, and parental socioeconomic position.

e

Adjusted for age, sex, birth year, parental history of psychiatric disorder, and parental socioeconomic position. The AHR for childhood daily NO2 exposure was also adjusted for the polygenic risk score, and the AHR for polygenic risk score was also adjusted for childhood daily NO2 exposure.
