目的：我们调查了周围的绿色在母亲的居住地址在分娩时和出生体重在两个德国出生队列之间的关联，并探讨了潜在的潜在hypothesis.Methods：完整的数据3203新生儿，招募在慕尼黑之间的1996年和1999年，可用。周围的绿色度被定义为平均值的归一化差异植被指数，这是来自Landsat 5 TM卫星images.Results：四分位数增加周围的绿色度在一个500米的缓冲区与平均出生体重增加17.6克（95%CI =0.5至34.6）。对NO2、PM2.5、距主干道距离和人口密度进行单独调整后，影响增强。最强的关联被发现与母亲不到10年的学校教育。当额外调整怀孕期间的噪音或母亲压力时，结果仍然稳健。邻里绿色空间与出生weight.Conclusions：出生地址周围的绿色与出生体重呈正相关，在慕尼黑的两个出生队列。驱动这种关联的机制尚不清楚，需要进一步调查。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Aim: We investigated the association between surrounding greenness at the mother's residential address at the time of delivery and birth weight in two German birth cohorts and explored potential underlying hypotheses.Methods: Complete data on 3203 newborns, recruited in Munich between 1996 and 1999, were available. Surrounding greenness was defined using the mean of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, which was derived from Landsat 5 TM satellite images.Results: An interquartile increase of surrounding greenness in a 500-m buffer was associated with an average birth weight increase of 17.6g (95% CI =0.5 to 34.6). The effect strengthened after individual adjustment for NO2, PM2.5, distance to major road and population density. The strongest association was found for mothers with less than 10 years of school education. The results remained robust when additionally adjusted for noise or maternal stress during pregnancy. Neighbourhood green spaces were not associated with birth weight.Conclusions: Surrounding greenness at the birth address was positively associated with birth weight in two birth cohorts in Munich. The mechanisms driving this association remain unclear and warrant further investigation. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
