Abstract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BACKGROUND<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Black Americans are exposed to higher annual levels of air pollution containing fine particulate matter (particles with an aerodynamic diameter of \u22642.5 \u03bcm [PM2.5<\/sub>]) than White Americans and may be more susceptible to its health effects. Low-income Americans may also be more susceptible to PM2.5<\/sub>pollution than high-income Americans. Because information is lacking on exposure\u2013response curves for PM2.5<\/sub> exposure and mortality among marginalized subpopulations categorized according to both race and socioeconomic position, the Environmental Protection Agency lacks important evidence to inform its regulatory rulemaking for PM2.5<\/sub> standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

METHODS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We analyzed 623 million person-years of Medicare data from 73 million persons 65 years of age or older from 2000 through 2016 to estimate associations between annual PM2.5<\/sub> exposure and mortality in subpopulations defined simultaneously by racial identity (Black vs. White) and income level (Medicaid eligible vs. ineligible).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RESULTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lower PM2.5<\/sub> exposure was associated with lower mortality in the full population, but marginalized subpopulations appeared to benefit more as PM2.5<\/sub> levels decreased. For example, the hazard ratio associated with decreasing PM2.5<\/sub> from 12 \u03bcg per cubic meter to 8 \u03bcg per cubic meter for the White higher-income subpopulation was 0.963 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.955 to 0.970), whereas equivalent hazard ratios for marginalized subpopulations were lower: 0.931 (95% CI, 0.909 to 0.953) for the Black higher-income subpopulation, 0.940 (95% CI, 0.931 to 0.948) for the White low-income subpopulation, and 0.939 (95% CI, 0.921 to 0.957) for the Black low-income subpopulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONCLUSIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Higher-income Black persons, low-income White persons, and low-income Black persons may benefit more from lower PM2.5<\/sub> levels than higher-income White persons. These findings underscore the importance of considering racial identity and income together when assessing health inequities. (Funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Alfred P.
