Associations between residential greenness exposure during pregnancy and bone mineral density in early childhood
Background
The impact of residential greenness exposure during pregnancy on early childhood bone mineral density (BMD) remains poorly understood. This study aimed to examine the association between residential greenness exposure during pregnancy and BMD in early childhood (0–3 years).
Methods
Data on participants, including demographics, health status, exposures, and outcomes, were derived from the pediatric subcohort within the Fujian Birth Cohort Study, recruited from 2019 to 2021. Greenness exposure was quantified using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index within 500-m buffer range. BMD was measured via quantitative ultrasonography (QUS), with low BMD defined as z-score below −1. To assess the associations of NDVI500m with BMD and low BMD, linear regression and logistic regression models were applied.
Results
The median maternal age was 30.50 years (IQR = 5.00). We found that higher NDVI500m exposure was consistently linked to higher BMD z-scores. An IQR increase in NDVI500m during the entire pregnancy resulted in a 0.04 (95 % CI: 0.01, 0.06) increase in BMD z-scores. For the first, second, and third trimesters, each IQR increase in NDVI500m exposure led to a 0.03 (95 % CI: 0.00, 0.06), 0.04 (95 % CI: 0.00, 0.07), and 0.04 (95 % CI: 0.01, 0.07) increase in BMD z-scores, respectively. However, no significant relationship was observed between NDVI500m and low BMD risk.
Conclusions
This study revealed a positive association of residential greenness exposure across the entire pregnancy and all trimesters with BMD in early childhood. These findings underscore the potential benefits of enhancing maternal access to greenness during pregnancy for improving offspring bone health.
