“…We adopted the same set of controls and we performed models specification according to standard methodological approach adopted in our previous studies using GAM and loess. 19 27 28 We did not observe relevant differences either in effects or in standard errors we obtained through the two approaches. For instance, the overall percentage increase estimates in both methods were around 5%.…”

Study objective: To evaluate if the effects of particulate matter (PM 10 ) on respiratory mortality of elderly people are affected by socioeconomic status. Design: Time series studies. The daily number of elderly respiratory deaths were modelled in generalised linear Poisson regression models controlling for long term trend, weather, and day of the week, from January 1997 to December 1999, in six different regions of São Paulo City, Brazil. The regions were defined according to the proximity of air pollution monitoring stations. Three socioeconomic indicators were used: college education, monthly income, and housing. Main results: For a 10 mg/m 3 increase in PM 10 , the percentage increase in respiratory mortality varied from 1.4% (95% CI 5.9 to 8.7) to 14.2% (95% CI 0.4 to 28.0). The overall percentage increase in the six regions was 5.4% (95% CI 2.3 to 8.6). The effect of PM 10 was negatively correlated with both percentage of people with college education and high family income, and it was positively associated with the percentage of people living in slums. Conclusions: These results suggest that socioeconomic deprivation represents an effect modifier of the association between air pollution and respiratory deaths.

“…Studies in São Paulo have addressed the effects of air pollution on respiratory disease counts, mainly among children46 and the elderly 47. These and other studies have supported polices that have since been implemented by municipal, state and federal governments to reduce air pollution.…”

“…Vehicular traffic is the main source of air pollution in the city, with concentrations of PM 10 (PM with an aerodynamic diameter of more than 2.5 μm), PM 2.5 (PM with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) usually found above standard levels (Annual air quality standards for NO2 and PM10 are 50 and 100 mg/m 3 , respectively). (Braga et al, 2001;CETESB, 2007;CETESB, 2008). São José do Rio Preto (SJRP), distant 310 miles from SP, is a city with one million inhabitants.…”
