Interplay of gestational parent exposure to ambient air pollution and diet characteristics on preterm birth

A manuscript describing epidemiologic analysis examining interactions between pre-pregnancy BMI and prenatal air pollution exposure on birth outcomes.

Impact/Purpose

We assessed risk of preterm birth in humans in relation to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ozone (O3), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and whether associations vary by diet as expressed by total caloric intake, total fat intake, and total saturated fat intake.
