Specific Environmental Factors Tied to Mortality Risk
Michael Hadley, MD, MPH, discusses his study on developing a spatial survival model to estimate associations between environmental exposures (ambient fine particulate matter air pollution; household fuel use and ventilation; proximity to traffic; distance to percutaneous coronary intervention center; socioeconomic environment; population density; local land use; and nighttime light exposure) and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among 50,045 individuals living in a low-income region in Iran.
