Table 1. Expanded sensitivity analysis regarding potentially influential data points with estimated regression coefficients (and SE, P values, and R 2 values) of change in life expectancy on change in PM2. 5 (10 µg/m3) for selected data sets and regression models
Figure 1. Changes in life expectancy (A) and residual changes in life expectancy after controlling from available socioeconomic, demographic, and proxy smoking variables (B) for the 1980s–1990s, plotted against reductions in PM2.5 concentrations for 1980–2000 for the most populated central counties in each of the 51 metropolitan areas. The numbers indicate the metropolitan areas as defined in the original paper (CitationPope et al., 2009). R 2 values are the coefficients of determination for each of the fitted curves as illustrated.
