[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 4kt3LR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We assessed whether the association between low birthweight and early childhood asthma can be explained by an extensive set of individual-and neighborhood-level measures. Methods. A population-based sample of children born in large US cities during 1998-2000 was followed from birth to age 3 years (N=1803). Associations between low birthweight and asthma diagnosis at age 3 years were estimated using multilevel models. Prenatal medical risk factors and behaviors, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, and neighborhood characteristics were controlled. Results. Low-birthweight children were twice as likely as normal birthweight children to have an asthma diagnosis (34% vs 18%). The fully adjusted association (OR=2.36 ; P<. was very similar to the unadjusted association p rates of renter-occupied housing and vacancies at census tract-level were strong independent predictors childhood asthma. conclusions. little between low birthweight asthma age can be explained by an extensive set demographic socioeconomic medical behavioral neighborhood characteristics. associations characteristics diagnosis in early need further explored.>
