biostudies-literatureUnknown11Hu B<h4>Background</h4>Preterm birth (PTB) has been linked with ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure. However, data are limited between physiological development of PTB and PM exposure.<h4>Methods</h4>Trimester and season-specific PM exposure including PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ was collected from Jiaxing between January 2014 and December 2017. Information about parents and 3,054 PTB (gestational age < 37 weeks) outcomes such as weight (g), head circumference (cm), chest circumference (cm), height (cm) and Apgar 5 score were obtained from birth records. We used generalized linear models to assess the relationship between PTB physiological developmental indices and PM_2.5, PM₁₀ and their combined exposures. A binary logistic regression model was performed to aFrontiers in public health1146283https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10410271biostudies-literatureCombined exposure to PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ in reductions of physiological development among preterm birth: a retrospective study from 2014 to 2017 in China.PMC10410271Xu LLi JChen JHuang HChen HShen BHu BXu GShao DTang JZhu LChen SJin LfalseCombined exposure to PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ in reductions of physiological development among preterm birth: a retrospective study from 2014 to 2017 in China.<h4>Background</h4>Preterm birth (PTB) has been linked with ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure.
