Effect modifications of parents' age at childbirth on association between ambient particulate matter and children obesity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is limited evidence regarding the modifying effects of parents' age at childbirth on the relationship between air pollution and obesity in plateau areas. This study aimed to explore the association between particulate matter (PM) and child obesity, specifically investigating whether parents' age at childbirth could modify this relationship in the Tibetan plateau, China.

Methods

Satellite-based random forest models were used to estimate the concentrations of PM_2.5 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters ≤ 2.5 μm), PM_c (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters between 2.5 μm and 10 μm), and PM₁₀ (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters ≤ 10 μm). Linear and logistic regression models were employed to assess ass
