Factors Associated With Residential Mobility in Children With Leukemia: Implications For Assigning Exposures
Annals of Epidemiology , 10/23/09

Urayama KY et al. – Overall, two–thirds (65.8%) of children had moved between birth and diagnosis, and one–third (34.5%) moved during the first year of life. Approximately 25% of the mothers had moved during the year before the child's birth. Multivariable analysis indicated greater residential mobility to be associated with older age of the child at diagnosis, younger age of the mother at child's birth, and lower household income. Among those who had moved, residential urban/rural status for birth and diagnosis residences changed for about 20% of subjects, and neighborhood socioeconomic status for 35%. These results suggest that neighborhood attribute estimates in health studies should account for patterns of residential mobility. Estimates based on a single residential location at a single point in time may lead to different inferences.
