a

Multilevel modeling was used to estimate the association between NDVI in deciles measured at 210m×210m around an individual’s residential address between age 0 and 5 y and the outcome of ADHD in a cohort of 814,689 individuals born in Denmark 1992–2007 and who were followed from 1997 until 2017.

b

Adjusted for age, calendar year, and sex.

c

Adjusted for age, calendar year, sex, and mother’s and father’s level of education and income.

d

Adjusted for age, calendar year, sex and proportion of low income, low education, and unemployment at municipal level.

e

Adjusted for age, calendar year, sex, mother’s and father’s level of education and income, urbanicity and proportion of low income, low education, and unemployment at municipal level.

f

Multilevel modeling was used to estimate the association between NDVI as numeric deciles measured at 210m×210m around an individual’s residential address between age 0 and 5 y and the outcome of ADHD in a cohort of 814,689 individuals born in Denmark 1992–2007 and who were followed from 1997 until 2017.
