The relation between cardiovascular mortality and development: Study for small areas in Brazil, 2001–2015

The Lancet, 349(9064), 1498-1504

The assessment of air pollution exposure using only community average concentrations may lead to measurement error that lowers estimates of the health burden attributable to poor air quality. To test this hypothesis, we modeled the association between air pollution and mortality using small-area exposure measures in Los Angeles, California.
