Odds ratio of severity of wheeze symptoms for various levels of urban land-use intensity
Note: Results are odds ratio per 10% increment of urban land-use within buffer (about 185 acres). The point represents the central estimate and the vertical line represents the 95% confidence interval. Results are based on the proportional odds model with health outcome defined as the severity of wheeze symptoms (none, mild, severe in the first year of life). Models adjust for infants’ gender, race, parental asthma history, family income, smoking in the home, presence of persistent mold, and maternal educational attainment.
