There are at present very few studies of the effects polybromodiphenyl ethers (PBDEs), used as flame retardants in consumer products, on neurodevelopment or thyroid hormone levels humans. The study aims to examine association between pre and postnatal PBDE concentrations children age 4years isolate PBDEs from those PCBs, DDT, DDE HCB. A prospective birth cohort Menorca (Spain) enrolled 482 pregnant mothers 1997 1998. At 4years, were assessed for motor cognitive function (McCarthy Scales...
Abstract Aim: To determine whether prenatal exposure to hexachlorobenzene (HCB) has potential adverse effects on child's weight and body mass index (BMI) in a general population with no local pollution sources. Methods: Starting from mid 1997, all mothers presenting for antenatal Menorca were recruited. Subsequently, 482 children enrolled. HCB was measured cord blood. Weight height at birth age 6.5 years. Results: Children levels higher than 1.03 ng/mL blood 1.14 kg (0.38) heavier had BMI...
Introduction Breastfeeding effects on cognition are attributed to long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), but controversy persists. Genetic variation in acid desaturase (FADS) and elongase (ELOVL) enzymes has been overlooked when studying the of LC-PUFAs supply cognition. We aimed to: 1) determine whether maternal genetic variants FADS cluster ELOVL genes contribute differences LC-PUFA levels colostrum; 2) analyze these related child cognition; 3) assess children's modify...
Summary The INMA (INfancia y Medio Ambiente [Environment and Childhood]) is a population‐based cohort study in different Spanish cities, that focuses on prenatal environmental exposures growth, development health from early fetal life until childhood. five primary areas of research: (1) growth physical development; (2) behavioural cognitive (3) asthma allergies; (4) sexual reproductive (5) exposure pathways. general aims the project are: to describe degree individual pollutants, internal...
Abstract Objective To analyse the relationship between maternal intakes of fish and other seafood during pregnancy child neurodevelopment at age 4 years. Although pregnant women are advised to limit because possible neurotoxin contamination, several studies suggest that overall associated with improved neurodevelopment, perhaps higher DHA intakes. Design The study uses data from a prospective birth cohort study. Maternal were assessed using semi-quantitative FFQ administered shortly after...
The authors investigated the association of early-life exposure to indoor air pollution with neuropsychological development in preschoolers and assessed whether this differs by glutathione-S-transferase gene (GSTP1) polymorphisms. A prospective, population-based birth cohort was set up Menorca, Spain, 1997–1999 (n = 482). Children were for cognitive functioning (McCarthy Scales Children's Abilities) attention-hyperactivity behaviors (Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders, 4th...
<h3>Importance</h3> This study used longitudinal data to examine potential associations between hours of television viewing and sleep duration in children. <h3>Objective</h3> To the association preschool school-aged <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Longitudinal, multicenter among birth cohorts Menorca, Sabadell, Valencia from Spanish Infancia y Medio Ambiente (environment childhood) project. The sample included 1713 children (468 560 685 Valencia). <h3>Exposure</h3> Parent-reported...
Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has been linked cardiometabolic (CM) risk factors in childhood, but there are no studies evaluating the persistence of these associations into adolescence, a period relevant changes endocrine-dependent organ systems and rapid increases lean fat mass. We examined prenatal POP exposures with body mass index (BMI) from age 4 18 years, other CM markers adolescence. analysed 379 children Spanish INMA-Menorca birth cohort study measured...
Abstract Vitamin D deficiency during critical periods of development could lead to persistent brain alterations. We aimed assess the association between maternal vitamin 3 , major circulatory form D, at pregnancy and neurodevelopmental outcomes childhood, namely: behavioural problems, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Autism Spectrum (ASD) symptoms, social competence. This study included 2,107 mother-child pairs a Spanish population-based birth cohort. Maternal plasma was...
Exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) from mobile communication technologies is changing rapidly. To characterize sources and associated variability, we studied the differences correlations in exposure patterns between children aged 8 18 their parents, over course of day, by age, activity pattern, for different metrics exposure.Using portable RF-EMF measurement devices, collected simultaneous real-time personal measurements 24 72 h 294 parent-child pairs Denmark,...
Objective To assess the impact of passive and active tobacco smoke exposure, both pre‐ postnatally, on child body mass index (BMI) overweight. Methods Pregnant women were enrolled into Spanish INMA prospective birth cohort during 1997 to 2008. Tobacco exposure was assessed by questionnaire corroborated postnatal cotinine measurements. Children followed up until 4 years in newer subcohorts ( N = 1866) 14 one older subcohort 427). Child age‐ sex‐specific BMI Z ‐scores calculated, generalized...
The existence of catch-up lung function growth and its predictors is uncertain. We aimed to identify trajectories their in a population-based birth cohort.
BackgroundEarly-life exposure to p,p′-DDT [2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1,1-trichloroethane] is associated with a decrease in cognitive skills among preschoolers at 4 years of age. We hypothesized that genetic variability glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes (GSTP1, GSTM1, and GSTT1) could influence the effects prenatal p,p′-DDT.MethodsWe used data from 326 children assessed prospective population-based birth cohort age years. In study, McCarthy Scales Children's Abilities were administrated...
