Association between the COVID-19 case-fatality rate and previous PM2.5 concentrations in the 24 districts of Lima

COVID-19 fatality rate Crude coefficient 95% CI Adjusted coefficient 95% CI
PM2.5 −0.014 −0.056 0.029 0.01 −0.047 0.068

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