Background Paracetamol is used extensively during pregnancy, but studies regarding the potential neurodevelopmental sequelae of foetal paracetamol exposure are lacking. Method Between 1999 and 2008 all pregnant Norwegian women were eligible for recruitment into prospective Mother Child Cohort Study. The mothers asked to report on their use at gestational weeks 17 30 6 months postpartum. We data 48 631 children whose returned 3-year follow-up questionnaire by May 2011. Within this sample 2919...
Neonatal anxiety and depression breastfeeding cessation are significant public health problems. There is an association between maternal symptoms of early cessation. In earlier studies, the causality this was interpreted both ways; prepartum significantly impacts breastfeeding, depression. First, we aimed to investigate whether related increase in from pregnancy six months postpartum. Second, also investigated proposed symptom after disproportionately high for those women already suffering...
IMPORTANCE Childhood sleep problems have been linked to a range of adverse health outcomes, but there is limited knowledge as the temporal association between and subsequent emotional behavioral in young children.OBJECTIVE To examine whether toddlers aged 18 months are related both concurrent preschool children 5 years.
To estimate the association between maternal use of acetaminophen during pregnancy and paternal before with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in offspring while adjusting for familial risk ADHD indications use.Diagnoses were obtained from Norwegian Patient Registry 112 973 Mother Child Cohort Study, including 2246 ADHD. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) an diagnosis by using Cox proportional models.After pregnancy, ADHD, use, we observed a modest any prenatal 1 (HR = 1.07; 95%...
Previous studies found notable rates of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and disorder (PTSD) in pediatric patients their parents suggest a significant association between child parent PTSS. However, little is known about mutual influences parental PTSS over time. This study prospectively examined the presence PTSD influence large sample with different medical conditions. A total 287 children (aged 6.5-16 years) mothers (n = 239) fathers 221) were assessed at 5-6 weeks 1 year after an...
Abstract Background Knowledge is scarce on what contributes to whether children with early language delay (LD) show persistent, recovering or sometimes late‐onset LD without a prior history of in subsequent preschool years. Aims To explore an integrative model vital risk factors, including poor communication skills, family language‐related difficulties and male gender, predicts the development trajectories from 3 5 years quantitatively qualitatively differently. Methods & Procedures was...
Data from a prospective 11-year longitudinal survey were used to identify early predictors and pathways symptoms of anxiety depression at 12-13 years age, examine whether there unique anxious versus depressive symptoms. Structural equation modeling was explore relations between contextual (maternal distress, family adversities, social support) temperamental (shyness emotionality) risk factors in their prediction informant-consistent depression. The results show that can explain 38% the...
There is a well-documented association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and offspring attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The degree to which this reflects causal intrauterine effects or due unmeasured confounding not clear. We sought compare the ADHD with associations paternal smoking, grandmother's when pregnant mother, in previous pregnancies. Each of these exposures expected be influenced by much same factors as pregnancy, but cannot have direct effects. A sibling...
Current knowledge about the relationship between mild to moderately inadequate maternal iodine intake and/or supplemental on child neurodevelopment is sparse. Using information from 77,164 mother-child pairs in Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study, this study explored associations attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis, registered Patient Registry maternally-reported ADHD symptoms at eight years of age. Pregnant women reported food supplement intakes by questionnaire...
Background Previous studies have found significant associations between maternal prenatal and postpartum depression child behavior problems ( CBP ). The present study investigates whether remain in a prospective, longitudinal design adjusted for familial confounding. Methods sample comprised 11,599 families including 17,830 siblings from the Norwegian Mother Child Cohort study. Mothers reported depressive symptoms at gestational weeks 17 30, as well 6 months, 1.5, 3, 5 years postpartum....
Background Low educational attainment in parents is associated with child psychopathology. It not clear whether the associations are due to risk factors that family members share or effects of maternal paternal education on offspring. We investigate between and symptoms attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, academic problems shared genetic factors, environmental parental phenotype itself. Methods This study based Norwegian Mother, Father Child Cohort Study (MoBa). The...
Abstract Assortative mating on heritable traits can have implications for the genetic resemblance between siblings and in-laws in succeeding generations. We studied polygenic scores phenotypic data from pairs of partners ( n = 26,681), 2,170), siblings-in-law 3,905), co-siblings-in-law 1,763) Norwegian Mother, Father Child Cohort Study. Using structural equation models, we estimated associations measurement error-free latent variables. found evidence similarity educational attainment r g...
Abstract Assortative mating – the non-random of individuals with similar traits is known to increase trait-specific genetic variance and similarity between relatives. However, empirical evidence limited for many traits, implications hinge on whether assortative has started recently or generations ago. Here we show theoretically empirically that relatives can provide presence history mating. First, employed path analysis understand how affects family members across generations, finding...
To investigate the impact of child gender, maternal education, and birth order on language comprehension (LC) status at 18 36 months age change in LC between these time points. Gender interactions education are also examined.This study is based data from Norwegian Mother Child Cohort Study conducted by Institute Public Health. Maternal report order, a sample 44,921 children were used linear regression analyses.At age, first-born girls mothers with high educational attainment had highest...
Preterm birth is associated with an increased risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); however, it unclear to what extent this association can be explained by shared genetic and environmental factors whether gestational age at similarly related inattention hyperactivity/impulsivity the same in boys girls.
Objective: Potential adverse effects of prenatal antidepressant exposure on child development are still debated. The possibility that associations due to genetic or familial environmental risk factors rather than use per se cannot easily be ruled out in conventional studies. Our objective was therefore evaluate the association between and behavioural problems a sibling controlled study. Method: This study used data 20 180 siblings identified from population-based Norwegian Mother Child...
