Fig. 2. Results of the Cox proportional hazards models.
The two panels present the hazard ratios of a dementia (n = 12,233,371 individuals examined) or b Alzheimer’s disease (AD, n = 12,456,447 individuals examined) associated with per IQR increase in annual PM2.5, or annual NO2, or warm-season O3 concentration, respectively. The estimated hazard ratios were obtained using single pollutant, bi-pollutant, and tri-pollutant models. Error bars stand for the 95% confidence intervals. The gray and white stripes are used to distinguish any two adjacent models. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
