Ultrafine particle exposure linked to dementia mortality

Each 10,000 particles/cm³ increase in outdoor ultrafine particle concentrations was associated with higher dementia mortality (hazard ratio 1.22, 95% CI 1.17–1.27).Each 10,000 particles/cm³ increase in outdoor ultrafine particle concentrations was associated with higher dementia mortality (hazard ratio 1.22, 95% CI 1.17–1.27).
