Air pollution linked to higher fracture rates in Norway
Forearm fracture rates were 1.22 times as high in men and 1.24 times in women in the highest versus lowest thirds of fine-particle pollution.Forearm fracture rates were 1.22 times as high in men and 1.24 times in women in the highest versus lowest thirds of fine-particle pollution.

What changedForearm fracture rates were 1.22 times as high in men and 1.24 times in women with highest versus lowest fine-particle pollution
The catchThe reported risk ratios weakened after adjustment for annual temperature and geography
