This study examined whether iron deficiency ( ID ) in infancy contributes to problem behaviors adolescence through its influence on poor regulatory abilities childhood. Chilean infants N = 1,116) were studied when there was no national program for fortification (1991–1996), resulting high rates of (28%) and iron‐deficiency anemia IDA , 17%). Infants (54% male) at childhood M age 10 years) 14 years). related excessive alcohol use risky sexual behavior effect emotion regulation Attentional...
Early-life conditions are important for the development of obesity. We hypothesized that home and family characteristics reflective less supportive environments during childhood will be associated with higher adult BMI faster growth between ages 5 21 years. also examined timing acceleration increase by weight status (normal weight, overweight, obese, extremely obese) to discern how differs across group time.
This study examined the associations among maternal depression, mothers’ emotional and material investment in their child, children's cognitive functioning. Middle‐class Chilean mothers children ( N = 875; 52% males) were studied when 1, 5, 10, 16 years (1991–2007). Results indicated that highly depressed provided less support to child across all ages, which related lower IQ. Children with mental abilities at age 1 received learning‐material led higher depression 10. Mothers’ low was more...
Abstract Background Gastroschisis is a congenital anomaly of the abdominal wall with an unknown aetiology. Recent trends in prevalence gastroschisis suggest that changing environmental or behavioural factors may contribute. We examined whether prenatal cannabis use disorder was associated gastroschisis. Methods The Study Outcomes Mothers and Infants population-based cohort compiled California birth records have been linked to Department Health Care Access Information hospitalization,...
Children who are iron deficient (ID) or iron-deficient anemic (IDA) have been shown to seek and receive less stimulation from their caregivers, contributing functional isolation. Over time, the reduced interactions between child caregiver thought interfere with acquisition of normative social competencies adversely affect child's development. The current study examined isolation in children were ID IDA infancy relation difficulties middle childhood problem behaviors adolescence. Using a...
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the level, rate, and acceleration BMI growth differ according presence or absence adult cardiometabolic (CM) risks.BMI measured in 1,000 Chileans at nine time points from birth 23 years, metabolic syndrome its components were assessed young adulthood. analyzed following three developmental periods: 6 months, months 5 years.Individuals with CM risks had a specific constellation early-life (faster after infancy, lower decline approaching age 5,...
To determine whether maternal cannabis use disorder is associated with infant hospitalization or death in the first year of life.
Heavy drinking among HIV-infected individuals is associated with health complications. Health-behavior self-efficacy may be characteristically low this population or negatively affected by status. We assessed whether to resist increased during brief educational and motivational drinking-reduction interventions within HIV primary care increases in predicted heavy drinkers. Results indicate that from baseline end-of-intervention inversely at follow-up. Findings suggest treatment promote...
ABSTRACT Objective We investigated the role of chronic stress burden on adiposity and adiposity-related inflammation with two hypotheses: a) greater is associated higher central selective accumulation visceral adipose tissue (VAT) compared subcutaneous (SAT), b) associations between VAT inflammatory biomarkers are exacerbated when high. Methods Data come from 1809 participants included in a Multi-Ethnic Study Atherosclerosis ancillary study body composition inflammation. Chronic psychosocial...
Preconception diabetes is strongly associated with adverse birth outcomes. Less known about the effects of elevated glycemia at levels below clinical cutoffs for diabetes. In this study, we estimated associations between preconception diabetes, prediabetes, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) on risk preterm birth, evaluated whether were modified by access to or utilization health care services.
The objectives of this study were to describe trends in the prevalence postpartum suicidal behaviors California, 2013-2018, and estimate associations between adverse perinatal outcomes behaviors.
Chronic hypertension during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of adverse birth outcomes. In 2017, the American College Cardiology and Heart Association (ACC/AHA) lowered thresholds to classify in non-pregnant adults SBP ≥ 130 mmHg DBP 80 (ie stage I hypertension), resulting an additional 4.5-million reproductive-aged women meeting criteria for hypertension. Little known about effects pre-pregnancy blood pressure (BP) this range.
Cardinal and non-cardinal dysmorphic features are associated with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE); however, their association neurodevelopment is less clear. The objective of this study was to determine whether alcohol-related predict neurodevelopmental delay in infants toddlers.We analyzed a prospective pregnancy cohort western Ukraine enrolled between 2008 2014. A dysmorphology examination comprising body size three cardinal 14 performed at approximately 6 12 months age. PAE self-reported...
