Note: aModel 1 included social deprivation index, annual average PM2.5 concentration, age, sex, marital status, hukou status, education, living alone, housing area per capita, housing construction time and housing facilities

bModel 2 included variables in Model 1, the percentage of surrounding green spaces within 1 km buffer and the percentage of surrounding blue spaces within 1 km buffer to Model 1

cModel 3 included variables in Model 1 and the logarithm of proximity to the nearest green spaces and the logarithm of proximity to the nearest blue spaces to Model 1
