Note: Beta coefficients represent increase or decrease in DNA methylation per 10 dB increase in aircraft, railway or road traffic Lden or 10 μg/m3 increase in NO2 or PM2.5. All estimates were from multiexposure epigenome-wide linear mixed-effects models, with random intercept at the level of participant. Multiexposure models included all five exposures (aircraft, railway, road traffic Lden and respective truncation indicators, NO2 and PM2.5) at the same time. In a preliminary step, DNA methylation β-values were regressed on the Illumina control probe-derived first 30 principal components to correct for correlation structures and technical bias, and residuals of these regressions covering 430,477 CpGs were used as the technical bias-corrected methylation level at the CpG sites. Extreme values of the residuals (lying beyond three times the interquartile range below the first quartile and above the third quartile at each CpG site) were replaced with their corresponding detection threshold value (“modified winsorization”). The “winsorized” data were then used as the dependent variables in the EWAS. Model 1: adjusted for age; sex; educational level; area; neighborhood socioeconomic status; greenness index; smoking status; smoking pack-years; exposure to passive smoke; consumption of fruits, vegetables and alcohol; nested study; asthma status; noise truncation indicators; survey; and leukocyte composition (main model). Model 2: Model 1+body mass index and physical activity. CHR, chromosome; CpG, Cytosine-phosphate-Guanine; Lden, day-evening-night noise level; NA, not annotated; NO2, particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter <2.5μm; SAPALDIA, Swiss Cohort Study on Air Pollution and Lung and Heart Diseases in Adults; SE, standard error.
