Exposure to Traffic Density during Pregnancy and Birth Weight in a National Cohort, 2000–2017

Abstract: The variation on birth weight is associated with several outcomes early on in life and low birth weight (LBW) increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Some environmental exposures during pregnancy, such as particulate matters and other traffic-related pollutants can have a significant effect on pregnant women and fetuses. The aim of this study is to estimate the effect of exposure to traffic density during pregnancy over birth weight in Spain, from 2000–2017. This was a retrospective, cross-sectional stu… Show more

“…The Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) is a tool used to predict how active a road is and it has shown to be a useful instrument when assessing the health effects of traffic density exposure [ 30 , 31 ]. It is computed as the total volume of vehicle traffic on a highway, road or street for a year divided by 365 days, and is expressed in vehicles per day.…”

“…It is computed as the total volume of vehicle traffic on a highway, road or street for a year divided by 365 days, and is expressed in vehicles per day. AADT was measured via the Navteq cartography combined with the traffic density information provided by the Spanish Ministry of Public Works and Transport [ 30 ]. We first created buffers at 50 and 100 meters around the participantsʼ residential address home, and then, calculated residential traffic density (RTD) as the total volume of AADT within the buffers; weights were applied proportionally to the length of the road segment overlapping with the buffer.…”
