Associations of PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ exposure metrics and response to shear stress (cm S⁻¹ mm^− 1), across all participants and by sex, for increases in normalized PM_2.5 or PM₁₀, in fully adjusted models

*All models adjusted for age, sex, age by sex interaction, smoking (except in models for women only because there were no ever smokers), BMI, season, year, hypertension, and base brachial artery diameter
