Prenatal exposure to toxic metals or variations in maternal levels of essential elements during pregnancy may be a risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum (ASD) offspring.We investigated whether measured mid-pregnancy, individually mixtures, were associated with childhood diagnosis ADHD ASD.This study is based on the Norwegian Mother, Father Child Cohort Study included 705 cases, 397 ASD cases 1034 controls....
Prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may be a risk factor for neurodevelopmental deficits disorders, but evidence is inconsistent.We investigated whether prenatal PFAS were associated with childhood diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism spectrum (ASD).This study was based on the Norwegian Mother, Father Child Cohort Study included n = 821 ADHD cases, 400 ASD cases 980 controls. Diagnostic identified by linkage Patient Registry. In...
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent organic pollutants that suspected to be neurodevelopmental toxicants, but epidemiological evidence on effects of PFAS exposure is inconsistent. We investigated the associations between prenatal PFASs and symptoms attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) cognitive functioning (language skills, estimated IQ working memory) in preschool children, as well effect modification by child sex.This study included 944 mother-child pairs enrolled a...
An increasing number of children are exposed to road traffic noise levels that may lead adverse effects on health and daily functioning. Childhood is a period intense growth brain maturation, therefore be especially vulnerable noise. The objective the present study was examine whether associated with reported inattention symptoms in children, this association mediated by sleep duration.This based Norwegian Mother Child Cohort Study conducted Institute Public Health. Parental reports...
Almost half of the European Union (EU)’s population is exposed to road traffic noise above levels that constitute a health risk. Associations between and impaired sleep in adults have consistently been reported. Less known about effects on children’s sleep. The aim this study was examine association nocturnal exposure parental-reported duration problems. present cross-sectional used data from Norwegian Mother Child Cohort Study. Parental report problems at age 7 linked modelled residential...
Pregnant women and their fetuses are exposed to multiple toxic metals that together with variations in essential element levels may alter epigenetic regulation, such as DNA methylation. The aim of the study was investigate associations between gestational elements mixtures thereof, global methylation pregnant newborn children. Using 631 mother-child pairs from a prospective birth cohort (The Norwegian Mother, Father Child Cohort Study), we measured maternal blood concentration (gestation...
To assess the role of occupational noise exposure on pregnancy complications in urban Nordic populations. A study population covering five metropolitan areas Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden was generated using national birth registries linked with residential environmental exposures sociodemographic variables. The data covered all pregnancies during 5-11 year periods 2004‒2016, resulting 373 184 pregnancies. Occupational based a Swedish-developed job-exposure-matrix, containing measured...
Being overweight constitutes a health risk, and the proportion of obese children is increasing. It has been argued that road traffic noise could be linked to adiposity through its influence on sleep stress. Few studies, our knowledge, have investigated whether are associated. Most them were adults, we not aware any longitudinal study using repeated measures.The present exposures in pregnancy (N = 6,963; obs 22,975) or childhood 6,403; 14,585) associated with body mass index (BMI)...
Introduction Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in childhood, but its causes are only partly known. Early-life exposure to toxic metals and inadequate or excess amounts of essential elements can adversely affect brain nervous system development. However, little still known about these as perinatal risk factors for CP. This study aims investigate associations between second trimester maternal blood levels metals, elements, mixtures thereof, with CP diagnoses children....
Many drivers lack relevant knowledge about advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and how they learn ADAS is mainly haphazard. We conducted interviews with six experts from the automobile industry eight drivers. Few actively engage features settings in their vehicles many fail to check or familiarize themselves an unfamiliar car. Moreover, research highlights that it not rare for misinterpret typical responses as technical issues.
How do e-scooters impact accessibility in urban areas for people with visual impairment or impaired mobility? We conducted two surveys among members of the Norwegian Association Blind and Partially Sighted Disabled. Results show that many are hindered by parked e-scooters, particularly on sidewalks, most feel unsafe when interacting e-scooter riders. More than half use more time trips due to while some avoid specific even whole trips. Feeling experiencing as obstacles is associated needing...
Background and aim Chemical pollution is an increasing threat to child health worldwide the impact of environmental toxicant on early brain development could contribute origins neurodevelopmental disorders cognitive impairments. The NeuroTox study has investigated prenatal exposure chemicals outcomes in Norwegian Mother, Father Child Cohort (MoBa). We evaluate relations between population levels common toxicants pregnant women neurodevelopment across findings. Methods Toxic metals, essential...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Pregnant women and their foetuses are exposed to multiple perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that may alter epigenetic regulation, such as DNA methylation, which negatively affect health development in childhood later life. The aim of the study was investigate associations between gestational levels PFAS, mixtures, with global methylation pregnant newborn children. METHOD: Seven PFAS markers status [5-methylcytocine (5mC) 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)] were measured blood...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Intrauterine exposure to toxic metals and deficient/excess levels of essential elements may adversely affect the uniquely sensitive developing human brain contribute risk neurodevelopmental disorders in children. We investigated prenatal attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) autism spectrum (ASD) METHODS: included 705 ADHD case, 397 ASD case 1034 control children their mothers from Norwegian Mother, Father Child Cohort Study (MoBa). Linkage with Patient Registry...
