Importance Fertility status is a marker for future health, and infertility has been associated with risk later cancer diabetes, but associations midlife cardiovascular health (CVH) in female individuals remain understudied. Objective To evaluate the association of history CVH at (approximately age 50 years) among parous individuals. Design, Setting, Participants Project Viva prospective cohort study pregnant participants enrolled between 1999 2002 who delivered singleton live birth greater...
Maternal intake of several nutrients during pregnancy is linked to offspring cognition. The relation between maternal dietary patterns and cognition less established.
OBJECTIVES: To examine associations of the timing complementary feeding (CF) introduction with adiposity throughout childhood. METHODS: We studied 1013 children from Project Viva. Our exposure was CF introduction, categorized as <4 months (19%), 4 to <6 (68%; reference group), and ≥6 age (14%). outcomes included measures in midchildhood (mean: 7.9 years; SD 0.8; n = 896) early adolescence 13.2 0.9; 850). used linear regression models adjusted for potential confounders ran...
Background: The use of outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) is standard medical practice; however, significant heterogeneity in practice exists. We hypothesized that formal OPAT programs are associated with increased physician participation patient safety activities. Methods: United States Infectious Disease (ID) physicians were contacted and asked to participate an electronic survey from April through June 2012. Data analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: In all, 3718 316...
Women are still under-represented in the senior ranks of academic medicine. As local surveys represent a critical initial step addressing challenges gender disparities promotion within institutions, we surveyed faculty at an medical centre to identify factors improve advancement women.We conducted electronic survey all full-time members Department Medicine assessing rank and important consideration for promotion.106 (46 %) responded survey; 40 % respondents were women. There was...
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship BMI with subsequent statural growth among children born in era obesity epidemic. Methods Among 18,271 from Belarus ( n = 16,781, 1996 1997) and United States 1,490, 1999 2002), multivariable linear ordinal logistic regression used analyze associations z score infancy adolescence standardized length height velocity, standing its components (trunk leg lengths), pubertal timing. Results prevalence early adolescent 6.2% 12.8%...
Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids associated with better cognition at older age. To our knowledge, no previous study has evaluated their cognitive implications in the prenatal period, when brain undergoes its most rapid development.
Infancy is a time of plasticity in development taste preference. Complementary feeding (CF) may be “sensitive period” for learning new preferences and establishing healthy dietary behaviors that track later life. Among 1162 children the U.S. prospective cohort study Project Viva, we aimed to identify patterns CF around 1 year examine associations with diet quality early childhood (median age 3.1y). We identified using latent class analysis (LCA) examined based on scores Youth Healthy Eating...
<b>Background</b> Few studies have examined sex-specific associations of maternal gestational glycemia with cord blood hormones, which might predict later health. <b>Methods</b> In 976 women without pre-existing diabetes in the Project Viva cohort, we used linear regression to examine hormone concentrations, adjusted for characteristics and stratified by infant sex. <b>Results</b> A total 6.1% had mellitus (GDM), 8.8% isolated hyperglycemia, 3.2% impaired glucose tolerance, 81.9% were...

A high proportion of children have overweight and obesity in the United States other countries. Accurate assessment anthropometry is essential to understand health effects child growth adiposity. Gold standard methods measuring adiposity, such as dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), may not be feasible large field studies. Research staff can, however, complete anthropometric measurements, body circumferences skinfold using inexpensive portable equipment. In this protocol we detail how obtain...
Longitudinal measures of diet spanning pregnancy through adolescence are needed from a large, diverse sample to advance research on the effect early-life nutrition child health. The Environmental influences Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program, which includes 69 cohorts,>33,000 pregnancies, and >31,000 children in its first seven-year cycle, provides such data, now publicly available. To describe dietary intake data available ECHO Program as August 31, 2022 (end year 6 Cycle 1) adolescence,...
Abstract Prenatal exposures may be critical for immune system development, with consequences allergic disease susceptibility. We examined associations of prenatal (nutrient intakes and air pollutants) biomarkers in adolescence. used data from 857 mother-child pairs Project Viva, a Massachusetts-based pre-birth cohort. Outcomes interest at follow-up (median age 12.9 years) were fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) total serum IgE. applied Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression analyses to...
