Abstract

Place-based measures of environmental exposures, climate, neighborhood characteristics, housing, and other social determinants of health are powerful predictors of health outcomes, including asthma. In addition, social determinants of health are likely causes of the persistent racial and ethnic disparities in asthma prevalence and morbidity. The objectives of this commentary are to (1) provide an overview of geospatial data and resources available to researchers to incorporate into studies of asthma-related outcomes, (2) provide a general approach to consider geospatial data in birth cohorts, (3) demonstrate the use of geospatial data in asthma-related research, and (4) highlight challenges and future opportunities for the use of geospatial data in asthma-related research and birth cohort studies. By integrating place-based data into longitudinal studies, researchers may identify critical drivers of asthma and asthma-related disparities and develop strategies to mitigate their impact.

整合地理空间数据与出生队列探索健康和哮喘的社会决定因素。

基于地点的环境暴露、气候、社区特征、住房和其他健康社会决定因素（SDoH）的测量是健康结局（包括哮喘）的有力预测因素。此外，SDoH可能是哮喘患病率和发病率持续存在种族和民族差异的原因。本评论的目的是：1)概述地理空间数据和可供研究人员纳入哮喘相关结果研究的资源；2)提供在出生队列中考虑地理空间数据的一般方法；3)展示地理空间数据在哮喘相关研究中的使用；4)强调在哮喘相关研究和出生队列研究中使用地理空间数据的挑战和未来机遇。通过将基于地点的数据整合到纵向研究中，研究人员可以确定哮喘和哮喘相关差异的关键驱动因素，并制定减轻其影响的策略。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology is a prestigious publication that features groundbreaking research in the fields of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. This influential journal publishes high-impact research papers that explore various topics, including asthma, food allergy, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, primary immune deficiencies, occupational and environmental allergy, and other allergic and immunologic diseases. The articles not only report on clinical trials and mechanistic studies but also provide insights into novel therapies, underlying mechanisms, and important discoveries that contribute to our understanding of these diseases. By sharing this valuable information, the journal aims to enhance the diagnosis and management of patients in the future.
