Childcare before age 6 and body mass index at age 7 years in a cohort of Danish children
Our prior work demonstrated that childcare in infancy was associated with higher weight in a cohort of Danish children. Here, we extend this work and examine childcare through 6 years and body mass index (BMI) at age 7 years. We examined 24 714 children in the Danish National Birth Cohort who were also in the Childcare Database.
Associations of prenatal and early life dietary inflammatory potential with childhood adiposity and cardiometabolic risk in Project Viva
Mean (SD) maternal DII in pregnancy was ?2.6(1.4) units and in child DII in early childhood was 0.3(0.7). Mean mid-childhood BMI z-score was 0.40(0.98) units. In boys only, DII in early childhood was associated with higher BMIz (adjusted ? = 0.16 units per unit DII, 95%CI 0.02, 0.29), waist circumference (0.93 cm; ?0.07, 1.92) and skin fold thicknesses (1.12 mm; 0.01, 2.23).
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet during pregnancy and offspring adiposity and cardiometabolic traits in childhood
In adults, adherence to the Mediterranean diet has been inversely associated with cardiovascular risk, but the extent to which diet in pregnancy is associated with offspring adiposity is unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between adherence to Mediterranean diet in pregnancy and offspring cardiometabolic traits in two pregnancy cohorts. We studied 997 mother–child pairs from Project Viva in Massachusetts, USA, and 569 pairs from the Rhea study in Crete, Greece.
Prenatal and early life exposure to traffic pollution and cardiometabolic health in childhood
Prenatal exposure to traffic pollution has been associated with faster infant weight gain, but implications for cardiometabolic health in later childhood are unknown. Among 1418 children in Project Viva, a Boston-area pre-birth cohort, we assessed anthropometric and biochemical parameters of cardiometabolic health in early (median age 3.3?years) and mid- (median age 7.7?years) childhood.
