作为二氧化硫和颗粒物对健康影响研究的一部分，我们在6个社区建立了一个年龄在25至74岁之间的成年人队列，并对其进行前瞻性随访。在我们对6个地点的成年人健康状况进行第一轮测量的结论中，我们发现，尽管我们使用了不同的抽样框架，但我们的样本在年龄、性别和职业方面接近美国人口普查中显示的分布，可能有一个城市例外。横截面数据的分析表明，对于年龄和身高调整值的用力呼气容积在1秒和选定的速率的各种呼吸道症状的年龄标准化，吸烟组之间的差异是明显的。不同地点之间这些参数的差异表明了与污染水平相关的趋势。在对特定暴露水平的影响作出明确声明之前，需要对目前正在收集的前瞻性数据进行进一步分析。
As part of a study of health effects of sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, we have established a cohort of adults 25 to 74 yr of age in 6 communities who will be followed prospectively. At the conclusion of our first cycle of measuring the health of adults in 6 sites we found that, although we used different sampling frames, our samples were close to the distribution shown in the U.S. Census for age, sex, and occupation, with the possible exception of one city. Analysis of the cross-sectional data indicated that for both age- and height-adjusted values for forced expiratory volume in 1 s and for selected rates of various respiratory symptoms standardized for age, differences among smoking groups were apparent. Differences in these parameters between sites suggest trends that were associated with levels of pollution. Further analyses of the prospective data currently being collected will be required before definitive statements can be made about the effect of specific levels of exposure.
