ORs (95% CI) for Each 10 μg/m3 Increase in Particulate Matter Exposure Associated with Risk of Any Arrhythmias in KSHS Cohort From 2002 to 2016
| Exposures | Models | 12‐mo | 36‐mo | 60‐mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PM10 | Model 1 | 1.13 (1.08, 1.19) | 1.10 (1.05, 1.16) | 1.12 (1.06, 1.18) |
| Model 2 | 1.14 (1.09, 1.20) | 1.11 (1.05, 1.17) | 1.13 (1.07, 1.19) | |
| PM2.5 | Model 1 | 1.29 (1.17, 1.42) | 1.12 (1.02, 1.25) | |
| Model 2 | 1.27 (1.15, 1.40) | 1.11 (1.00, 1.23) |
Model 1. Adjusted for age (continuous), sex (men or women), study center (Seoul or Suwon), year of visit (continuous), and education level (no education, elementary school, middle school, high school, technical college, university, or more). Model 2. Additionally, systolic blood pressure (continuous), smoking status (never, current, former), height (continuous), weight (continuous), alcohol consumption (none, moderate, or excessive), physical activity (none, <3 times per week, or ≥3 times per week), and history of diabetes mellitus (yes or no) and history of hypertension (yes or no). KSHS indicates Kangbuk Samsung Health Study; PM10, particulate matter of <10 μm in aerodynamic diameter; and PM2.5, particulate matter of <2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter.
