Associations between PM exposures and FMD were evaluated using linear mixed-effects month moving-average estimates of PM2.5 and PM10 exposure are associated with impaired endothelial function in two recent epidemiologic studies that used PM air pollution exposure modeling similar to that in the present Endothelial function was measured by brachial artery reactivity test (BART) to assess FMD using standardized Table 2 Associations of PM2.5 and PM10 exposure metrics and FMD (%), across all participants and by sex, for increases in significant inverse association between long-term exposure to PM2.5 and FMD: For a one unit increase in normalized 12-month moving-average PM2.5, FMD ./cache/work_rntmabixpvfnzj2kmrj2xmgive.pdf ./txt/work_rntmabixpvfnzj2kmrj2xmgive.txt
