Hazard ratios are stratified by sex and by five-year age groups, and adjusted for visible minority; Aboriginal identity; marital status; education; income quintile; employment status; occupational class; community size; urban form; airshed; and neighbourhood instability, deprivation, dependency and ethnic concentration. COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. CI: confidence interval. PM2.5: fine particulate matter.
