Finding F-1783

“Interquartile range increases in exposures to fine particulate matter (53.2-μg/m3) and black carbon (0.9-μg/m3) were linearly associated with lower overall cognition [− 0.13 (95% confidence interval: − 0.22, − 0.04) and − 0.10 (− 0.19, − 0.01), respectively].”

Structure

Factor: Black carbon
Outcome: Cognitive performance
Setting: home, CN
Study design: prospective study of Chinese adults (INTERMAP-China): exposure to household air pollution estimated and related to z-standardised domain-specific and overall cognitive scores from the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (class 3)
Effect: beta -0.10 (-0.19–-0.01) per 0.9 z-score per interquartile range increase
Caveat: the outcome is a z-standardised overall cognitive score, so the estimate is in standard deviations
