Associations between ambient PM10 concentration and blood pressure in generalized additive mixed models, stratified according to tertiles of genetic risk score for blood pressure, Korean Elderly Environmental Panel Study, 2008–2010. Models were adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, alcohol drinking, body mass index, hypertension medication, and apparent temperature. The plots show the associations of ambient PM10 concentration with systolic blood pressure (a), diastolic blood pressure (b), and mean arterial blood pressure (c) in the low genetic risk score group; the associations with systolic blood pressure (d), diastolic blood pressure (e), and mean arterial blood pressure (f) in the moderate genetic risk score group; and the associations with systolic blood pressure (g), diastolic blood pressure (h), and mean arterial blood pressure (i) in the high genetic risk score group. PM10, particulate matter ≤10 μm. Solid lines, spline curves; shaded area, 95 % confidence interval
