Long-term exposure to particulate air pollution and brachial artery flow-mediated dilation in the Old Order Amish

Table 3 Associations of PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ exposure metrics and response to shear stress (cm S⁻¹ mm^− 1), across all participants and by sex, for increases in normalized PM_2.5 or PM₁₀, in fully adjusted models

Particulate air pollution metrics (normalized)	Across all				Men				Women
Particulate air pollution metrics (normalized)	β	SE	p-value	95% CI	β	SE	p-value	95% CI	β	SE	p-value	95% CI
PM_2.5 12-month moving-average*	0.03	0.03	0.4	−0.04, 0.11	− 0.02	0.04	0.7	−0.10, 0.06	0.07	0.06	0.3	−0.05, 0.19
PM₁₀ 12-month moving-average*	0.07	0.04	0.08	−0.01, 0.14	0.01	0.05	0.8	−0.08, 0.10	0.11	0.06	0.08	−0.01, 0.22

*All models adjusted for age, sex, age by sex interaction, smoking (except in models for women only because there were no ever smokers), BMI, season, year, hypertension, and base brachial artery diameter
