Association of Prenatal and Postnatal Exposures to Warm or Cold Air Temperatures With Lung Function in Young Infants.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Little is known about long-term associations of early-life exposure to extreme temperatures with child health and lung function.

Objectives

To investigate the association of prenatal and postnatal heat or cold exposure with newborn lung function and identify windows of susceptibility.

Design, setting, and participants

This population-based cohort study (SEPAGES) recruited pregnant women in France between July 8, 2014, and July 24, 2017. Data on temperature exposure, lung function, and covariates were available from 343 mother-child dyads. Data analysis was performed from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021.

Exposures

Mean, SD, minimum, and maximum temperatures at the mother-child's residence, estimated using a state-of-the-art spatiotemporally reso
