No safe threshold level of lead exposure in children has been recognized. Also, the information on shielding effect maternal dietary iron intake during pregnancy adverse effects prenatal children's postnatal neurocognitive development is very limited. We examined association and neurodevelopment at 6, 12, 24, 36 months protective action against impact exposure. The study participants comprise 965 pregnant women their subsequent offspring total enrolled Mothers Children's environmental health...
We investigated the association between breastfeeding and cognitive development in infants during their first 3 years.The present study was a part of Mothers' Children's Environmental Health (MOCEH) study, which multi-center birth cohort project Korea that began 2006.A total 697 were tested at age 12, 24, 36 months using Korean version Bayley Scales Infant Development II (K-BSID-II).The use duration formula feeding measured.The relationship mental index (MDI) score analyzed by multiple...
Objective: To assess the association of air pollution and school absenteeism among elementary students
Based on data obtained from pregnant women who participated in the Mothers and Children's Environmental Health (MOCEH) study South Korea, we aimed to determine whether maternal intake of fruits vegetables or vitamin C is associated with fetal infant growth. A total 1138 Korean at 12–28 weeks gestation their infants were recruited as participants for MOCEH. Intake during pregnancy was assessed by a 1-day 24-h recall method. Fetal biometry determined ultrasonography late pregnancy. Infant...
Our objective is to evaluate the relationships between prenatal maternal stress and depressive symptoms, respectively, infant neurodevelopment at 6 months, adjusted for heavy metals oxidative stress.This research a part of multi-center birth cohort study in South Korea.Information on symptoms was collected during first trimester using Psychosocial Well-Being Index Short Form (PWI-SF) Center Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).The Korean Bayley Scales Infant Development-II...
Degenerative lumbar spine disease is becoming increasingly prevalent in the aging population. Surgical treatment standard modality for intractable cases, but reoperation rate remains high. We conducted this study to longitudinally evaluate impact of health risk factors on Koreans aged over 40 years. Subjects > years who underwent their first spinal surgery between January 2005 and December 2008 were selected followed up until 2015. A total 6300 people included. The during 10-year follow-up...
High Maternal Blood Mercury Level Is Associated with Low Verbal IQ in ChildrenThe objective of the present study was to investigate relationship children maternal blood mercury concentration during late pregnancy.The is a component Mothers and Children's Environmental Health (MOCEH) study, multicenter birth cohort project Korea that began 2006.The consisted 553 whose mothers underwent testing for were given Korean language version Wechsler Preschool Primary Scale Intelligence, revised...
<i>Objectives:</i> Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common prostate disease in middle-aged and elderly men, leads to severe impairment later life. Despite significant effect on public health, causes of BPH have received little attention. Identifying risk factors for crucial understanding etiology determining effective interventions or targeting strategies. <i>Methods:</i> This survey was performed two steps: (1) a pilot study first conducted prior main...
Giant cell interstitial pneumonia (GIP) is a rare form of chronic typically associated with hard metal exposure. Only two cases GIP induced by nitrofurantoin have been reported in the medical literature. We are reporting case recurrent nitrofurantoin-induced GIP. Although extremely rare, needs to be included differential diagnosis patients use who present respiratory illness.
ISEE-0646 Background and Objective: Numerous health outcomes of children’s exposure to maternal smoking have been reported, including increased rates low birth weight, infant mortality respiratory infections. However, much less is known about the consequences secondary smoke during fetal development. The aim this present study was investigate possible association prenatal environmental tobacco (ETS) neurodevelopment. Methods: Data from Mother Children’s Environmental Health (MOCEH), a...
S-29B5-3 Background/Aims: To examine the potential health effects of growth and neurodevelopment in infants children associated with prenatal exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates. Methods: Study subjects were mothers (n = 200–600 pairs) who enrolled children's environmental (MOCEH) study, a multicenter cohort pregnant women. We measured maternal urinary levels 1-hydroxypyrene 2-naphthol (2-NA) as metabolites PAHs, BPA, 3 phthalates endocrine...
O-31C6-2 Background/Aims: Epidemiologic studies have reported the association between fetal exposure of Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and birth outcome such as weight or gestational age at birth. We aimed to investigate relationship VOCs weight, focused on individual VOCs. Methods: Prospective cohort study(MOCEH) was conducted in Seoul, Cheonan, Ulsan since 2006 total 1558 pregnant women were enrolled. Basic investigations maternal information including demographic socioeconomic status,...
Background: Although previous studies have suggested the exposure to secondhand smoke as an asthma risk factor, there is inconsistency between researches. The objective of this study was evaluate whether association with exists and its relation modified by gender. Methods: data 17,240 adults aged 19 years over retrieved from Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES IV). Information on outcome measures (ever asthma, current physician-diagnosed asthma) obtained self-reports...
ISEE-100 Abstract: Prenatal air pollution exposure has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcome such as low birth weight and preterm birth. Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) is one of the multigene family phase II metabolic enzyme that detoxify exogenous chemicals. This study was designed to evaluate association between prenatal pollutants outcome, interaction GST polymorphisms. We investigated 237 pregnant women who visited a university hospital in Seoul, South Korea. obtained their...
