Traffic particles and occurrence of acute myocardial infarction: a case–control analysis

Table 3

Relative odds of acute myocardial infarction among cases and controls (n = 14 842)

Odds ratio* (95% CI)
Traffic particles Cumulative traffic
Model
    Adjusted for matching factors 1.14 (1.09 to 1.21)
    Fully adjusted† 1.10 (1.04 to 1.16)
    Fully adjusted†+cumulative traffic 1.09 (1.03 to 1.15) 1.05 (1.02 to 1.07)
Sensitivity analysis adjusting for spatial dependence‡
    Block group
        Adjusted for matching factors 1.21 (1.08 to 1.35)
        Fully adjusted† 1.16 (1.03 to 1.30)
        Fully adjusted†+cumulative traffic 1.14 (1.01 to 1.27) 1.06 (1.03 to 1.09)
    Census tract
        Adjusted for matching factors 1.07 (0.93 to 1.23)
        Fully adjusted† 1.04 (0.91 to 1.20)
        Fully adjusted†+cumulative traffic 1.01 (0.88 to 1.16) 1.06 (1.03 to 1.10)
  • *Per interquartile range change in natural log predicted traffic particles (1E-5 m−1) and natural log of cumulative traffic within 100 m buffer of residence.

  • †Adjusted for age, section of study area, sex, percentage block group residents living below the poverty line, and PM2.5 point source emissions density.

  • ‡Block groups or census tracts included as random intercepts.
