Abstract
While PTB is of multifactorial origin, the present study shows that community-based risk factors (namely urban/suburban location, differences in traffic density exposure, and need for traveling to work along high-vehicle density thoroughfares) may influence risk for PTB. Further research focusing on previously unrecognized community-based risk factors may lead to innovative future prevention measures.
