Although these behaviors are important, environmental factors may also play an important role. Among these factors, air pollution with particulate matter (PM) classifications PM10 and PM2.5 (particles of ≤10 μm or ≤2.5 μm) has been associated with greater all-cause mortality.2 Air pollution can be distributed differentially by socioeconomic position, so disadvantaged groups are more often exposed to air pollution.3- 4 This differential exposure could have attenuated any improvements in health as a result of changes in healthy behaviors for people in lower socioeconomic positions and could explain the lack of effect on mortality by decreased smoking in the studied groups.
