Temperature variability, extreme temperature events, and arthritis risk in older adults: interaction with PM <sub>2.5</sub> chemical components
component levels attenuated the temperature-related risks (P for interaction <0.05 for most components). These findings suggest that colder temperature patterns and greater diurnal variability are important environmental risk factors for arthritis, and that temperature and air pollution should be considered jointly in relation to arthritis risk.
