ObjectiveExposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) in secondhand smoke (SHS) and traffic‐related air pollution (TRAP) may elicit chronic inflammation. It was hypothesized that the association between these exposures would be potentiated in overweight versus normal‐weight children.MethodsAverage lifetime exposure to TRAP and SHS and objective, physician‐diagnosed asthma were determined for 575 children at age 7. Overweight was defined as having a body mass index (BMI)>85th percentile for age and gender. The association between TRAP and SHS exposure and asthma was examined by logistic regression stratified by BMI.ResultsA total of 131 children were overweight; the prevalence of asthma was 24.4% and 14.2% among overweight and normal‐weight children, respectively. Exposure to SHS was significantly associated with asthma among overweight (adjusted odds ratio [adjOR] = 3.0; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.2, 7.4) but not normal‐weight children (adjOR = 1.1; 95% CI = 0.4, 2.7). In contrast, TRAP was significantly associated with asthma among normal‐weight (adjOR = 1.8; 95% CI = 1.0, 3.4) but not overweight children (adjOR = 0.7; 95% CI = 0.4, 2.7).ConclusionsThe association between SHS and TRAP exposure and asthma is modified by children's weight. Children's time‐activity patterns, including time spent indoors or outdoors, may vary by weight and play an important role in these UFP exposures.
