Adjusted odds ratios with their 95% confidence intervals from the logistic regression of CVD among cases and control.

Global model	OR^a	95% CI	value
Living near a busy highway			<0.001
<100 m
>100 m		4.44–12.85
Living close to local diesel generator		2.07–10.91	<0.001
Dose-effect relationship
Duration of living near a busy highway		1.02–1.07	0.016
Duration of living close to local diesel generator		1.10–1.78	0.014

Global model: adjusted for triglyceride, HDL, LDL, SBP, and cigarette smoker status. OR^a: adjusted odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; value < 0.05 statistically significant. Dose-effect relationship: adjusted for triglyceride, HDL, LDL, SBD, and cigarette smoker status. OR^a: adjusted odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; value < 0.05 statistically significant.
