Residential relocation can be leveraged as a natural experiment. This study examined the changes in environmental exposures due to residential relocation in two samples of within-city movers in Bradford (UK); 2089 residents (66% women, mean [SD] age, 47.80 [19.88] years) with preexisting common mental disorders-related prescriptions and 12,699 residents (60% women, mean [SD] age, 42.47 [17.40] years) without the same prescriptions at baseline (January-April 2021). Study data were extracted from National Health Service health records. The outcome was the presence of an active prescription for anxiolytics or antidepressants (yes/no) 1 year after relocation (January-April 2022). Change scores were calculated for several exposures, including the normalized difference vegetation index, distance decay to green spaces, coarse (PM) and fine particulate matter (PM), and nitrogen dioxide (NO) at pre- and postmove addresses. Logistic regression models were used for each change score exposure, adjusting for covariates selected using a direct acyclic graph validated against the data. Participants without prescriptions at baseline were likely to relocate to less green and less polluted areas compared with those with preexisting medication. A total of 15% of participants without prescriptions at baseline had an active prescription at follow-up. For these, increases in normalized difference vegetation index were associated with lower odds of having active prescriptions at follow-up [OR (odds ratio) = 0.93 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.88, 0.98), = 0.007], whereas increases in PM [OR = 1.1 (95% CI = 1.04, 1.16), < 0.001] and PM [OR = 1.12 (95% CI = 1.06-1.19), < 0.001] concentrations were associated with higher odds. Changes in environmental exposures due to residential relocation showed an influence on mental health only for those participants without active prescriptions in the baseline.
住宅搬迁可被用作一项自然实验。本研究调查了英国布拉德福德市内两个搬家者样本因住宅搬迁导致的环境暴露变化;2089名居民(66%为女性,平均[标准差]年龄47.80[19.88]岁)有与常见精神障碍相关的既往处方,以及12699名居民(60%为女性,平均[标准差]年龄42.47[17.40]岁)在基线时(2021年1月至4月)无相同处方。研究数据从国民健康服务体系的健康记录中提取。结果是搬迁1年后(2022年1月至4月)是否有抗焦虑药或抗抑郁药的有效处方(是/否)。计算了几个暴露因素的变化分数,包括归一化差异植被指数、到绿地的距离衰减、粗颗粒物(PM)和细颗粒物(PM)以及搬家前后住址处的二氧化氮(NO)。对每个变化分数暴露因素使用逻辑回归模型,并根据数据验证的直接无环图选择协变量进行调整。与有既往用药的参与者相比,基线时无处方的参与者可能搬到绿化较少且污染较轻的地区。基线时无处方的参与者中,共有15%在随访时有有效处方。对于这些人,归一化差异植被指数的增加与随访时有有效处方的较低几率相关[比值比(OR)=0.93(95%置信区间[CI]=0.88,0.98),P=0.007],而PM[OR=1.1(95%CI=1.04,1.16),P<0.001]和PM[OR=1.12(95%CI=1.06 - 1.19),P<0.001]浓度的增加与较高几率相关。因住宅搬迁导致的环境暴露变化仅对基线时无有效处方的参与者的心理健康有影响。
