Evaluating the impact of built-environment factors on sleep disruption
The quality of your sleep depends on many things, but one overlooked and potentially modifiable influence is where you live. Using a dataset of ~25,000 adults from the BC Generations project (BCGP) cohort, we assessed self-reported sleep duration in relation to the built environment. Built environment metrics included light-at-night, greenness, road proximity, and air pollution (PM2.5, NO2, SO2), as linked to our BCGP participants’ postal codes by the Canadian Urban Environmental Research Consortium. Single and multi-exposure analysis results will be discussed.
