  1. aIncident ED is defined as either replying yes to ED question or reported ED medication usage in Wave 2 but not in Wave 1, multiple imputation using FCS algorithm run 100 times, results given are mean ORs (95% Confidence Intervals)
  2. bPM2.5 1 year IQR = 3.25 μg/m3, 2 years IQR =3.12 μg/m3, 3 years IQR = 3.18 μg/m3, 4 years IQR = 3.12 μg/m3, 5 years IQR =3.10 μg/m3, 6 years IQR = 3.15 μg/m3, 7 years IQR = 3.10 μg/m3
  3. cLogistic regression models include adjustment for age and geographic region (West, Midwest, Central, South, Northeast) in base models
  4. dAdditional adjustment for ethnic group, education (<H.S., H.S., College), current smoking status, obesity, depression, diabetes, season, and median household income in adjusted models
