The health status of Asian populations may be different to that of Western populations and may, therefore, respond differently to air pollution exposure. Therefore, we evaluated the health effects of long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution in Shizuoka, Japan.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Individual data were extracted from participants of an ongoing cohort study. A total of 14\u2009001 older residents, who were randomly chosen from all 74 municipalities of Shizuoka, completed questionnaires and were followed from December 1999 to March 2006. Individual nitrogen dioxide exposure data, as an index for traffic-related exposure, were modelled using a land use regression model. We assigned participants an estimated concentration of nitrogen dioxide exposure during 2000\u20132006. We then estimated the adjusted HR and their CI for a 10\u2005\u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>increase in exposure to nitrogen dioxide for all-cause or cause-specific mortality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The adjusted HR for all-cause mortality was 1.02 (95% CI 0.96 to 1.08).
