We investigated the association between surrounding greenness at the mother's residential address at the time of delivery and birth weight in two German birth cohorts and explored potential underlying hypotheses.
Complete data on 3203 newborns, recruited in Munich between 1996 and 1999, were available. Surrounding greenness was defined using the mean of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, which was derived from Landsat 5TM satellite images.
An interquartile increase of surrounding greenness in a 500-m buffer was associated with an average birth weight increase of 17.6g (95% CI=0.5 to 34.6). The effect strengthened after individual adjustment for NO2, PM2.5, distance to major road and population density. The strongest association was found for mothers with less than 10 years of school education. The results remained robust when additionally adjusted for noise or maternal stress during pregnancy. Neighbourhood green spaces were not associated with birth weight.
Surrounding greenness at the birth address was positively associated with birth weight in two birth cohorts in Munich. The mechanisms driving this association remain unclear and warrant further investigation.
我们在两个德国出生队列中研究了分娩时母亲居住地址周围的绿化程度与出生体重之间的关联,并探讨了潜在的相关假设。
可获取1996年至1999年在慕尼黑招募的3203名新生儿的完整数据。使用从陆地卫星5TM卫星图像得出的归一化差异植被指数的平均值来定义周围的绿化程度。
500米缓冲区内周围绿化程度的四分位数间距增加与平均出生体重增加17.6克相关(95%置信区间=0.5至34.6)。在对二氧化氮、细颗粒物、到主要道路的距离和人口密度进行个体调整后,这种效应增强。在受教育年限少于10年的母亲中发现了最强的关联。在对孕期噪音或母亲压力进行额外调整后,结果仍然稳健。邻里绿地与出生体重无关。
在慕尼黑的两个出生队列中,出生地址周围的绿化程度与出生体重呈正相关。驱动这种关联的机制尚不清楚,值得进一步研究。
