The model was adjusted for the PM2.5 level, sex ratio (female deaths: male deaths), food markets (number of food markets per district and age [years] at the moments of deaths by COVID-19). Data for the PM2.5 level (μg/m3) correspond to the average data per district obtained daily from 2012 to 2016.
