How urban vegetation and exposure to pollen are linked to the incidence of childhood asthma.
By Priyanjana Pramanik, MSc.Jun 13 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in the European Respiratory Journal, researchers investigated how urban vegetation and exposure to pollen are linked to the incidence of childhood asthma .
Research has indicated multiple factors contributing to childhood asthma, such as lifestyle behaviors, paternal and maternal factors, genetics, and environmental exposures. An emerging area of interest is the potential role of urban vegetation exposure in preventing childhood asthma. About the study The study utilized a retrospective cohort design, including singleton live births in Toronto, Canada, from April 2006 to March 2014.
Airborne pollen exposure data were derived from land use regression models. A directed acyclic graph was used to identify confounders for model adjustment, including ambient levels of air pollution, maternal age, infant sex, breastfeeding status, maternal smoking, maternal asthma, birth year and season, and area-level socioeconomic status indicators.
