Fernandes, A; Avraam, D; Cadman, T; Dadvand, P; Guxens, M; Binter, A-C; Pinot de Moira, A; Nieuwenhuijsen, M; Duijts, L; Julvez, J; De Castro, MStudies evaluating the benefits and risks of green spaces on children's health are scarce. The present study aimed to examine the associations between exposure to green spaces during pregnancy and early childhood with respiratory, cardiometabolic, and neurodevelopmental outcomes in school-age children. We performed an Individual-Participant Data (IPD) meta-analysis involving 35,000 children from ten European bi...
Gestational age at birth and body size from infancy through adolescence: An ind...
Vinther, JL; Cadman, T; Avraam, D; Ekstrom, CT; Sorensen, TIA; Elhakeem, A; Santos, AC; de Moira, AP; Heude, B; Iñiguez, C; Pizzi, C; Simons, EBackground Preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality and is associated with adverse developmental and long-term health outcomes, including several cardiometabolic risk factors and outcomes. However, evidence about the association of preterm birth with later body size derives mainly from studies using birth weight as a proxy of prematurity rather than an actual length of gestation. ...
Exposure to natural environments during pregnancy and birth outcomes in 11 euro...
Torres Toda, M; Avraam, D; James Cadman, T; Fossati, S; de Castro, M; Dedele, A; Donovan, G; Elhakeem, A; Estarlich, M; Fernandes, A; Gonçalves, RResearch suggests that maternal exposure to natural environments (i.e., green and blue spaces) promotes healthy fetal growth. However, the available evidence is heterogeneous across regions, with very few studies on the effects of blue spaces. This study evaluated associations between maternal exposure to natural environments and birth outcomes in 11 birth cohorts across nine European countries. This study, par...
