Investigating associations between anti-nuclear antibody positivity and combined long-term exposures to NO2, O3, and PM2.5 using a Bayesian kernel machine regression approach

Investigating associations between anti-nuclear antibody positivity and combined long-term exposures to NO2, O3, and PM2.5 using a Bayesian kernel machine regression approach

Background: Air pollution has many adverse health effects, but the combined or synergistic effects of multiple ambient air pollutants on anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA, a serologic marker of systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease, SARDs) have never been assessed. Objective: To flexibly model ANA and in...
