项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Childhood obesity is a risk factor for many chronic diseases in childhood and adulthood. Excessive calorie consumption, inadequate physical activity, and genetics are important factors in the burgeoning obesity epidemic; but emerging evidence suggests a role for early-life exposure to air pollution, beginning at the preconception period of gametes maturation and continuing into the entire childhood. Despite that 92% of world’s population today lives in places where ambient air quality exceeds health-based limits per a 2016 WHO report, no published studies have assessed the potential critical time windows, including the preconception period, during which air pollution exposures may adversely affect birth weight and growth trajectory, two significant predictors for childhood obesity. Here we present an overarching hypothesis that air pollution exposures during critical early life developmental periods of preconception, in utero, and first 2 years of life, are associated with obesity-related developmental perturbations, which is manifested by low birth weight and higher growth trajectories during early childhood. We propose to examine this hypothesis in 20,000 newborns whose fathers and mothers have both been enrolled in the Shanghai PreConception Cohort (SPCC) throughout 29 hospitals from year 2016-2018. Each of these newborns has detailed paternal and maternal preconception baseline health, dietary supplement, smoking, alcohol consumption, and demographic data, detailed maternal gestational information, and birth outcome data. During their first 2 years of life, these newborns have up to 6 scheduled physical and health exams, providing data for us to calculate weight and height, potentially non-linear, growth trajectories and assess relevant postnatal variables such as breast-feeding, infection, and illness. Across the 20,000 residence addresses of study subjects, there exist unusually large temporal and spatial variabilities in pollutant concentrations especially for traffic related air pollutants. We will use cutting-edge tempo-spatial exposure models, validated with air monitoring data from 10 governmental stations and our supplementary air pollution measurements, to compute pollutant concentrations at residence addresses for a set of specified time windows including sensitive preconception periods for mothers and fathers (respectively), gestational months and trimesters, and throughout the first 2 years of infancy. By leveraging the rich dataset of this large longitudinal cohort of 20,000 children, we will use distributed lag models to identify critical exposure windows and to examine potential effect differences by factors such as child sex, social economic status and parental smoking status from preconception to gestation periods. If our hypothesis is proven true, this study will provide the first scientific evidence supporting paternal and maternal air pollution exposure during critical time windows, including preconception and in utero periods, as a risk factor for low birth weight and excessive body growth in childhood.

项目摘要/摘要儿童肥胖是儿童和成年时许多慢性疾病的危险因素。过多的卡路里消费，体育锻炼不足和遗传学是肥胖肥胖流行的重要因素；但是新出现的证据表明，早期暴露于空气污染的作用游戏时期成熟并持续到整个童年。尽管有92％的人口今天生活在环境空气质量超过2016年报告的基于健康的限制的地方，没有出版研究已经评估了潜在的关键时间窗口，包括预选时期，在此期间空气污染暴露可能会对出生体重和生长轨迹产生不利影响，这是两个重要的预测因素儿童肥胖。在这里，我们提出了一个总体假设，即在关键的早期危及的空气污染暴露在子宫内和生命的前两年，发展的孕前期间与肥胖有关发育扰动，这表现为早期的出生体重和更高的生长轨迹童年。我们建议在20,000名新生儿中审查这一假设，他们的父亲和母亲都有从2016 - 2018年开始，整个29家医院就读于上海先入为主的队列（SPCC）。这些新生儿中的每一个都有详细的父亲和母亲的基准基线健康，饮食补充剂，吸烟，饮酒和人口统计数据，详细的孕妇信息和出生结果数据。在生命的头两年中，这些新生儿最多有6个计划的身体和健康考试，为我们提供计算体重和身高的数据，潜在的非线性，生长轨迹和评估相关的产后变量，例如母乳喂养，感染和疾病。在20,000居住研究主题的地址，污染物中存在异常大的临时和空间变化浓度尤其针对与交通相关的空气污染物。我们将使用尖端的节气空间曝光模型，用来自10个政府站的空气监控数据和我们的补充空气污染验证测量，以计算一组指定时间窗口的居住地址处的污染物浓度包括分别针对母亲和父亲的敏感孕前期，妊娠月和陈旧者，以及在婴儿期的前两年。通过利用这个大纵向的富数据集共有20,000名儿童的队列我们将使用分布式滞后模型来识别关键的曝光窗口并检查诸如儿童性别，社会经济状况和父母吸烟状况等因素的潜在效果差异从孕前到妊娠期。如果我们的假设被证明是正确的，那么这项研究将提供第一个科学的在关键时间窗口中支持父亲和母体空气污染暴露的证据，包括先选和子宫时期，作为低出生体重和童年体内过度生长的危险因素。
