Prenatal exposure to air pollution, even at low levels, has been associated with negative effects on a child's neuropsychological functioning. The present work aimed investigate the associations between prenatal pollution cognitive, language, and motor function 40 days of age in highly exposed area Spain. From ECLIPSES study population, counted 473 mother-child pairs. Traffic-related levels home addresses during whole pregnancy were estimated including particulate matter (PM) an aerodynamic...
Background: In response to criticism and limitations of the Nutri-Score Nutrient Profiling Model (NS-NPM), algorithm was updated in 2023. However, its impact on beverage classification remains partially assessed. Objective: This study aimed compare nutritional profiles beverages marketed Spain using original NS-NPM algorithms. Methods: Nutritional data for 3432 "Drink Base" database were analyzed both 2015 (original) 2023 (updated) versions. Results: The update showed significant changes...
Type 2 diabetes poses a major public health challenge. Here, we conducted cohort study with large sample size to determine the association of baseline serum ferritin (SF), marker iron status, incident type in primary healthcare patients Catalonia, western Mediterranean region. A total 206,115 aged 35–75 years without and available SF measurements were eligible. The variables analyzed included sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometry, lifestyle, morbidity status (SF, hemoglobin)....
Abstract There is an increasing prevalence of psychological issues in childhood. Lifestyle factors during pregnancy, including maternal nutrition, have been linked to children's behavioural development. This study aims assess the impact adherence Mediterranean diet pregnancy on problems children at age 4. A total 231 mother‐child pairs were assessed. Maternal was estimated using a relative Diet Score (rMED). Behavioural outcomes evaluated through Child Behaviour Checklist 1½−−5, Teacher's...
Iron deficiency (ID), anemia, iron anemia (IDA) and excess (hemoconcentration) harm maternal-fetal health. We evaluated the effectiveness of different doses supplementation adjusted for initial levels hemoglobin (Hb) on maternal status described some associated prenatal determinants. The ECLIPSES study included 791 women, randomized into two groups: Stratum 1 (Hb = 110-130g/L, received 40 or 80mg daily) 2 > 130g/L, 20 40mg daily). Clinical, biochemical, genetic information was collected...
The effectiveness of prenatal iron supplementation improves maternal hematological outcomes, but little research has focused on child outcomes. objective this study was to assess whether adjusted needs children's cognitive functioning.The analyses included a subsample nonanemic pregnant women recruited in early pregnancy and their children aged 4 years (n=295). Data were collected between 2013 2017 Tarragona (Spain). On the basis hemoglobin levels before 12th gestational week, receive...
Background: Recent evidence suggest that energy distribution during the daytimecould be a potential determinant for development of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Objective: To cross-sectionally assess association between breakfast size and prevalence MetS in Spanish adults. Methods: Our study included subset 3644 participants from European Prospective Investigation into Cancer Nutrition Spain recontacted 2017–2018. Information on diet, sociodemographic, lifestyle, sleep quality, chronotype was...
The progressive industrialization has resulted in an increase heavy metal pollution the environment, which a dangerous impact on human health. Prenatal exposure to metals, even at very low concentrations, may be especially harmful pregnant women and their children. Different industrial activities can contribute specific area.1) To explore concentrations of metals urine samples women, 2) evaluate potential effect different Tarragona (Spain).Urinary levels four (nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd),...
Abstract Several population-specific genetic, sociodemographic, and maternal lifestyle factors are related to iron status in early pregnancy, their identification would allow preventive actions be taken. The study aimed identify associated with deficiency (ID) pregnancy non-anaemic pregnant women from a European Mediterranean country. Cross-sectional using the initial population of ECLIPSES performed before gestational week 12. Serum ferritin (SF) haemoglobin concentrations were measured...
Prenatal nutrition plays a crucial role in maternal and child health. This study aims to compare nutrient intake its adequacy recommendations among pregnant women Spain Poland. The ECLIPSES utilized self-administered food frequency questionnaire, while the PREDISH Poland employed 3-day interview method. We assessed energy against recommended dietary allowances. analysis included 583 participants first trimester 465 third from both countries. Our findings revealed insufficient of iron,...
Abstract Prenatal iron supplementation improves children's health and cognitive performance, but few studies explore behavioural development. This study assessed the effects of adjusting prenatal to maternal stores during early pregnancy on problems. Randomized controlled trial conducted in Tarragona (Spain) involving 230 nonanaemic pregnant women their children after a 4‐year follow‐up. Based haemoglobin (Hb) levels before gestational week (GW) 12, receive different doses: those with Hb =...
Since iron plays an important role in several physiological processes, its deficiency but also overload may harm the development of children. The aim was to assess effect iron–fortified milk on biochemical status and neurodevelopment children at 12 months age. Randomized controlled trial conducted 133 Spanish children, allocated two groups receive formula fortified with 1.2 or 0.4 mg/100 mL between 6 Psychomotor (PDI) Mental (MDI) Development Index were assessed by Bayley Scales before after...
Abstract Background Prenatal prescription of standard iron supplements to prevent deficiency appears not be appropriate for all women and their children, as some may at risk others excess early in pregnancy. The present study aimed assess whether prenatal supplementation adapted the needs each pregnant woman affects child’s neurodevelopment. Methods Follow-up a community-based RCT involving 503 mother–child pairs. Non-anaemic recruited Tarragona (Spain) pregnancy were prescribed daily dose...
Abstract Adequate iron supply in pregnancy is important for both the woman and fetus, but status often assessed late first trimester, if at all. Therefore, identification of factors associated with to target vulnerable groups increased risk deficiency. Our objectives were (1) describe mid-pregnancy (2) identify sociodemographic lifestyle predictors status. This cross-sectional study uses data from The Norwegian Mother, Father Child Cohort Study (collected 2002–2008) Medical Birth Registry...
Abstract This research evaluates the prevalence of inadequate folate status in early pregnancy, pattern prenatal folic acid (FA) supplementation and associated factors Spanish pregnant women from ECLIPSES study, which included 791 participants prior gestational week 12. A cross-sectional evaluation erythrocyte levels was performed at recruitment used to calculate deficiency (erythrocyte < 340 nmol/l) insufficiency 906 nmol/l). Sociodemographic lifestyle data as well information on FA were...
