Main Effect (Nsubjects:nvisits = 151:263) | |
---|---|
Air pollutants | Adjusted β-Coefficient (95% CI)* |
PM2.5, μg/m3 | 0.00 (−0.04 to 0.04) |
NO2, ppb | 0.031 (0.11 to 0.51)† |
Definition of abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; MVA = moderate to vigorous activity; NO2 = nitrogen dioxide; Nsubjects = number of subjects included for the analysis; nvisits = total number of visits; PM2.5 = particulate matter <2.5 microns.
β-coefficients are presented for an interquartile range increase in MVA time, equivalent to 44 minutes. Bold typeface values represent P < 0.05.
Models adjusted for asthma, daily average temperature, daily average relative humidity, temporal daily levels of PM2.5 (or NO2) at fixed monitoring site, and warmer versus colder months.
P < 0.01.
