The Mothers and Children's Environmental Health study (MOCEH) is a multi-centric prospective birth cohort investigating effects of various environmental pollutants like heavy metals, endocrine disruptors, air pollutants, nutrition lifestyle on outcomes, growth development, health disease children. In this study, we report all the outcomes from MOCEH describing different affecting children's disease.In 1,751 pregnant women in their first trimester were recruited at 3 centers 2006 to 2010...
Secondhand smoke (SHS) is a major indoor pollutant. We examined the possible association between exposure to both SHS and low levels of lead attention-deficit–hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) its symptom domain in children. This case–control study was based on results community survey using ADHD rating scale conducted 49 elementary schools. Both cases control subjects were confirmed by child psychiatrist. Each case matched with one subject according gender, school, grade school. Using...
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely produced synthetic chemical used to manufacture polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. We aimed investigate the association between exposure BPA behavioral cognitive function in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) healthy controls.The study included 444 aged from 6 10 years. The ADHD control groups 195 249 children, respectively. levels were assessed via urinalysis, while behavior was using Korean version of Rating Scale (K-ARS)...
The possible health effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation on children have become a public concern due to biological vulnerability developing children. To evaluate the evidence for adverse children, we systematically reviewed epidemiological studies, and briefly experimental animal or mechanistic studies. Using search strategy risk-of-bias assessment, summarized existing data cancer, birth outcome, neurocognitive development, behavioral problems. There was no sufficient...
COVID-19 started to occur in South Korea by an inflow of the virus from abroad, when a traveller Wuhan, China, was first confirmed on January 19th, 2020. Although reduced number newly cases and is way stabilizing situation with its disease prevention policies, problems remain. The main issue reconfirmation after recovery. Korean experts believe reconfirmed are caused reactivation inside patients’ body, rather than reinfection When considering cases, it important keep social distancing even...
: Habitual snoring is a common problem in children. We evaluated the association between high risk for sleep-disordered breathing and attention deficit/hyperactivity symptoms.Parents of 13,560 children aged 6 to 12 years responded questionnaires including items on habitual Korean disorder rating scale. The score comprised number "yes" responses habitual-snoring items, was defined as ≥ 2.The odds ratio (OR) significantly higher boys (OR = 1.47; p < 0.001), overweight 2.20; with current...
This study evaluated the time trends in mobile phone subscriber number by network generation (G) and brain cancer incidence type Korea. We obtained data from Information Technology Statistics of Korea (1984–2017) Central Cancer Registry (1999–2017). The average annual percent change was estimated using Joinpoint regression analysis. 29,721 cases with an age‐standardized rate (ASR) 2.89/100,000 persons. glioma glioblastoma ASR significantly increased 2.6% 3.9% males 3.0% 3.8% females,...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: In modern society, exposure to RF-EMF is an unavoidable ubiquitous exposure. It not yet clear whether the use of mobile phones during pregnancy has a causal adverse effect on birth outcomes. METHOD: Korea Children's Environment and Health Study cohort, information was gathered via survey phone usage among 5,213 women who gave between 2015 2020. case missing pregnancy, outcome multiple births were excluded, 4628 finally included in analysis. Birth outcomes evaluated...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: In recent years, with the rapid technological development of wireless communication, it has been important to study possible negative health effects mobile phone exposure. One concerns is a relation between prenatal exposures and various mental problems in their children. METHOD: A prospective cohort data from Mother Children's Environmental Health Study was used, which had examined environmental exposure outcomes repeated measurements mothers The depression anxiety...
