*Odds ratios were adjusted for maternal age, maternal body mass index, maternal educational state, infant sex, gestational age, delivery mode, and family history of allergy.

aOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; ETS, environmental tobacco smoke; PM2.5, fine particulate matter; Nrf2, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor; LRTIs, lower respiratory tract infections; URTIs, upper respiratory tract infections.
