There were 1.06 million adults living in urban areas for which data were available on all covariates. Estimates of exposure to air pollution (measured as particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10\u2005\u03bcm, PM<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>) were available for census area units from a previous land use regression study. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate associations between cause-specific mortality rates and average exposure to PM<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub> in urban areas, with control for confounding by age, sex, ethnicity, social deprivation, income, education, smoking history and ambient temperature.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The odds of all-cause mortality in adults (aged 30\u201374\u2005years at census) increased by 7% per 10\u2005\u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> increase in average PM<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub> exposure (95% CI 3% to 10%) and 20% per 10\u2005\u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup> among Maori, but with wide CI (7% to 33%).

The major limitation of the study is the probable misclassification of PM<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub> exposure. On balance, this means the strength of association was probably underestimated. The apparently greater association among Maori might be due to different levels of co-morbidity.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/jech.2010.112490","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,22]],"date-time":"2010-10-22T01:51:26Z","timestamp":1287712286000},"page":"468-473","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":75,"title":["Air pollution and mortality in New Zealand: cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"Simon","family":"Hales","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tony","family":"Blakely","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alistair","family":"Woodward","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025100303430836000_66.5.468.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15287390590936166"},{"key":"2025100303430836000_66.5.468.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/27.3.450"},{"key":"2025100303430836000_66.5.468.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199312093292401"},{"key":"2025100303430836000_66.5.468.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm\/151.3_Pt_1.669"},{"key":"2025100303430836000_66.5.468.5","unstructured":"Krewski D Burnett R Goldberg M .
