N2 - The associations between air pollution (NO2 and SO2) and health in 4931 Indonesian children aged 0–3 years. Participants provincial-levels of NO2 and SO2 were assigned and the associations with low birth weight, infant death, neonatal death, and acute respiratory infection (ARI) were evaluated. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using a generalized estimating equations logistic regression model. NO2 exposure increased the risk for ARI. An interquartile range increased in mean NO2 exposure increased the risk for ARI by 18% (OR 1.18, 95% CI: 1.08–1.28), and was supported by quartile exposure category. SO2 was not linked with the examined child health outcomes. NO2 exposure increased the risk for respiratory infections in early childhood in Indonesia.
