Sensitivity and supplementary analyses. This document provides a more complete version of Table 1, additionally containing the n's of the different categories (Table S1). In addition, it contains six tables with results from supplementary analyses on the association between reported respiratory symptoms and "living within 200 m of a highway": Table S2 reports adjusted odds ratios for reported respiratory symptoms in participants with and without asthma. Table S3 reports odds ratios adjusted only for community but not for individual factors. Table S4 shows odds ratios unadjusted for doctor's diagnosed asthma. Table S5 shows the results obtained after exclusion of non-Swiss citizens. Table S6 reports odds ratios for participants living more than 50 m from a major road. Finally, Table S7 reports odds ratios adjusted for satisfaction with air quality.
