摘要
夜间人造光(ALAN)是一个与不良健康后果相关的日益严重的环境问题,但它与低出生体重之间的关系仍然未知。我们旨在探讨加利福尼亚州 7,808 个人口普查区中室外 ALAN 与出生体重不足之间的关系。我们使用的数据来自加州社区环境健康筛查工具(CalEnviroScreen)的普查区级数据。谷歌地球引擎平台中的 VIIRS 夜间昼/夜波段复合版本 1 数据集用于评估室外 ALAN。采用多变量线性回归分析数据。我们的研究结果表明,在对所有潜在的协变量进行调整后,室外 ALAN 在四分位数范围内的增加导致低出生体重率平均增加 0.42%(95% CI:0.37,0.46)。结果表明,室外 ALAN 与低出生体重之间存在明显关联。这些关联在敏感性分析中保持一致。
Association between outdoor artificial light at night and low birth weight in California.
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a growing environmental issue associated with adverse health consequences, but the association with low birth weight remains unknown. We aim to explore associations between outdoor ALAN and low birth weight across 7,808 census tracts in California. We use data from the California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen) at the census tract level. VIIRS Nighttime Day/Night Band Composites Version 1 dataset within the Google Earth Engine platform was used to assess outdoor ALAN. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyze the data. Our findings showed that an interquartile range increase in outdoor ALAN resulted in an increase of 0.42% (95% CI: 0.37, 0.46) in low birth weight rate on average, after adjusting for all potential covariates. The results demonstrate a significant association between outdoor ALAN and low birth weight. These associations remained consistent in sensitivity analyses.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
