Structure

Outcome
Cognitive performance
Setting
home
Study design
mediation analysis in a cohort of older adults: a composite measure of indoor air pollution from the household's cooking practices, indoor smoke and secondhand smoke related to cognitive health, with depression and sleep disorders tested as mediators (class 4)
Effect
beta -0.38
Caveat
the exposure is a composite index built from unclean cooking practices, indoor smoke from incense sticks and mosquito coils and secondhand smoke, so it has no single factor slug; the coefficient comes from the study's mediation model
