Ambient ammonium exposure is associated with physical dysfunction in older adults in China by JiaHao Shi

“…After controlling for a wide range of confounders, associations among eight air contaminants (averaged from 2013 to 2015) and dysfunction risk were investigated using logistic regression models. Multicollinearity among covariates in the fully adjusted models was assessed using the generalized variance inflation factor (GVIF), with a threshold value of 5 adopted as the criterion to indicate potential collinearity. …”
