Özet:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a highly heterogeneous disease, with multiple underlying causes, including genetic and environmental factors. Early life air pollution exposure has been implicated as a risk factor for ASD, potentially working through an inflammatory pathway. Previous air pollution and ASD studies have been limited by several factors, including spatial and exposure variability, consideration of area-level socioeconomic status, and evaluation of associations by ASD severity. To address these limitations, this dissertation assessed the association between pre- and postnatal air pollution exposure during critical windows of neurodevelopment using data from the Study to Explore Early Development, a population-based case-control study with six different sites located throughout the United States.
Specific Aim 1 assessed the association between particulate matter ≤2.5 mum in diameter (PM2.5) and ozone exposure during three months prior to pregnancy, over the entire pregnancy period, as well as more refined periods of exposure reflecting each trimester of pregnancy and the first year of life. Specific Aim 2 evaluated the modifying role of neighborhood deprivation on the association between pregnancy and first year of life roadway proximity and PM2.5 exposure and ASD. For both of these aims, important confounders were considered and several sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of the study findings. In Specific Aim 1, a potential critical window of susceptibility was identified during the late prenatal and early postnatal period, including associations for PM2.5 exposure during the first year of life [OR=1.26 per 1.6 mug/m3 (95% CI: 1.02, 1.57)] and ozone exposure during the third trimester [OR=1.22 per 6.6 ppb (95% CI:1.05, 1.42)]. Associations varied by geographic location, potentially due to different exposure levels and composition of PM2.5. In Specific Aim 2, the association between first year of life PM2.5 exposure and ASD varied by neighborhood deprivation level, with the strongest observed association for those in the highest deprivation level. The findings from this study may aid in setting air pollution standards for regulatory action for susceptible populations and suggests that economically deprived regions may be of greatest risk.
