  1. Notes: Individual fixed-effect regressions were separately undertaken to assess the impact of air pollution concentrations within samples stratified. Models adjusted for all time-varying participants characteristics as displayed in Table 1 (i.e., age, weight), participant-specific temporal order and environmental variables detailed in Table 3 (daily average temperature and rainy day). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001
