Note: Values are medians (25th–75th percentiles) unless otherwise indicated. p-Values were derived with chi-square tests (sex) and Kruskal-Wallis tests on all other characteristics. ABCD, Amsterdam Born Children and their Development; LAN, light at night; , nitrogen dioxide; , particulate matter less than in aerodynamic diameter; SD, standard deviation; SEP, socioeconomic position; VIIRS-DNB, Visible and Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day/Night band.
Categories of low, medium, and high satellite-measured LAN exposure based on tertiles of VIIRS-DNB. Cutoffs between tertiles low-medium and medium-high were 16.6 and , respectively.
Air pollutants and are modeled average values in micrograms per cubic meter.
Green buffer corresponds to the amount of square meters of green in a buffer of 100 and around the place of residence, respectively, based on vegetation cover indicated on the Dutch cadastral map TOP10.
Degree of rurality, population density, and area-level SEP derived from the smallest area unit (“buurt”) by Statistics Netherlands. Degree of rurality ranges from 1 (very urban) to 5 (rural), population density to number of inhabitants per square kilometer, and area SEP to the percentage of the population with low income.
