Model1: adjusted for age, gender, urban or rural resident, geographic region, per-capita household income, educational level, and PM2.5 concentration. Model2: Further adjusted for dietary habit, tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, daily hours of moderate-vigorous physical activity and sitting, and BMI. Model3: Further adjusted for family history of CVD, status of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. CVD, cardiovascular disease; Pys, person-years; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; CHD, coronary heart disease; PM2.5, fine particulate matter; BMI, body mass index.
