a

Model 1: Cox proportional hazards regression adjusted for age, sex, education, Townsend deprivation index, ethnicity, and APOE ε4 genotype. Models for main effects are mutually adjusted for PA and pollution variable and did not include interaction terms. Results for ACCave are from model that includes PM2.5 absorbance as a covariate (results are similar for mutual adjustment for other pollution variables). Air pollution exposures are scaled so that a one unit increase equals one interquartile range increase.

b

Model 2: Cox proportional hazards regression adjusted for Model 1, alcohol consumption, smoking status, chronic disease, general health, depression, healthy diet score, BMI, difference in date between accelerometer wear and pollution measure, and accelerometer wear duration. Air pollution exposures are scaled so that a one unit increase equals one interquartile range increase.
