  1. aAdjusted for the maternal age, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, percentage of illiterate as well as unemployed adults per census tract
  2. CI confidence interval, FBS fasting blood glucose. The regression coefficients were reported based on 1 IQR increase in PM1, PM2.5, PM10, total street length in different buffers and proximity to major roads
