Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and asthma symptom score in the CONSTANCES cohort (Publications)
Asthma symptom score (range: 0-5) was based on the number of five self-reported symptoms of asthma in the last 12 months. Annual individual exposure to PM2.5, BC and NO2 was estimated at participants'

Annual exposure to NO2 at the address of residence was predicted by hybrid models (i.e., a combination of [...] 24-hr total power (TP), HF, LF, or LF/HF or for nighttime SDNN, TP, or HF. In subjects with self-reported cardiovascular problems, SDNN decreased by 4% (95% CI, -8 to -1) per 10-microg/m3 increase in NO2

We observed stronger effects of Lden road among participants reporting poor sleep quality or sleeping with open windows. Conclusions: Transportation noise may be more

Transportation noise annoyance was assessed using an 11-point scale, and participants reported respiratory symptoms and doctor-diagnosed asthma at each survey. We estimated associations with [...] Lden showed independent associations with asthma symptoms among asthmatics,...
