Abstract
Air pollution, traffic noise and absence of green space may contribute to the development of overweight in children. To investigate the combined associations of air pollution, traffic noise and green space with overweight throughout childhood. We used data for 3680 participants of the Dutch PIAMA birth cohort. We estimated exposure to air pollution, traffic noise and green space (i.e. the average Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and percentages of green space in circular buffers of 300 m and 3000 m) at the children's home addresses at the time of parental reported weight and height measurements. Associations of these exposures with overweight from age 3 to 17 years were analyzed by generalized linear mixed models, adjusting for potential confounders. Odds ratios (OR's) are presented for an interquartile range increase in exposure. odds of being overweight increased with increasing exposure to NO
