Child Opportunity Index at birth and asthma with recurrent exacerbations in the US ECHO program.

Background: Environmental exposures and social determinants likely influence specific childhood asthma phenotypes.
Objective: We hypothesized that the Child Opportunity Index (COI) at birth, measuring multiple neighborhood opportunities, influences incidence rates (IRs) for asthma with recurrent exacerbations (ARE).
Methods: We tested for COI associations with ARE IRs in 15,877 children born between 1990 and 2018 in the ECHO (Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes) program.
Background: Descriptive epidemiological data on incidence rates (IRs) of asthma with recurrent exacerbations (ARE) are sparse.
Objectives: This study hypothesized that IRs for ARE would vary by time, geography, age, and race and ethnicity, irrespective of parental asthma history.
Methods: The investigators leveraged data from 17,246 children born after 1990 enrolled in 59 US with 1 Puerto Rican cohort in the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) consortium to estimate IRs for ARE.
Article Synopsis
- Inadequate or excessive intake of micronutrients during pregnancy can negatively affect both maternal and offspring health outcomes.
- The study aimed to compare risks of micronutrient intake among diverse women with singleton pregnancies based on factors like maternal age, race/ethnicity, education, and prepregnancy BMI.
- Results showed significant risks for inadequate or excessive micronutrient intake, particularly among younger, non-White, less educated, or obese participants, indicating a need for improved diet quality among pregnant women.
