Urban environment during pregnancy and lung function, wheezing, and asthma in s...
Abellan, A; Warembourg, C; Mensink-Bout, SM; Ambros, A; de Castro, M; Fossati, S; Guxens, M; Jaddoe, VW; Nieuwenhuijsen, MJ; Vrijheid, M; Santos, SThe urban environment during pregnancy may influence child's respiratory health, but scarce evidence exists on systematic evaluation of multiple urban exposures (e.g., air pollution, natural spaces, noise, built environment) on children's lung function, wheezing, and asthma development. We aimed to examine the association of the urban environment during pregnancy with lung function, preschool wheezing, and scho...
Maternal hemoglobin and iron status in early pregnancy and childhood cardiac ou...
Quezada-Pinedo, HG; Jaddoe, V; Gaillard, R; Duijts, L; van Rijn, B; Reiss, IKM; Vermeulen, MJ; Santos, SBackground & aims: Dysregulation of iron homeostasis is associated with cardiac alterations in a sex-dependent manner in adults. It is unknown whether iron status during pregnancy has long-term impact on cardiovascular health, and if this association is influenced by sex. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate sex-specific association between maternal iron status during early pregnancy and cardiac outcomes in ...
Green spaces and respiratory, cardiometabolic, and neurodevelopmental outcomes:...
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...
Physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and childhood asthma: a European collab...
Eijkemans, M; Mommers, M; Harskamp-van Ginkel, MW; Vrijkotte, TGM; Ludvigsson, J; Faresjö, Å; Bergström, A; Ekström, S; Grote, V; Koletzko, BOBJECTIVES: To investigate the associations of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour in early childhood with asthma and reduced lung function in later childhood within a large collaborative study. DESIGN: Pooling of longitudinal data from collaborating birth cohorts using meta-analysis of separate cohort-specific estimates and analysis of individual participant data of all cohorts combined. SETTING: Ch...
Body composition and respiratory outcomes in children: a population-based prosp...
Wu, T; Santos, S; Quezada-Pinedo, HG; Vernooij, MW; Jaddoe, VWV; Klein, S; Duijts, L; Oei, EHGBackgroundBody composition might influence lung function and asthma in children, but its longitudinal relations are unclear. We aimed to identify critical periods for body composition changes during childhood and adolescence in relation to respiratory outcomes in adolescents.MethodsIn a population-based prospective cohort study, we measured body mass index, fat mass index (FMI), lean mass index (LMI) and the ra...
Maternal iron status in early pregnancy and childhood body fat measures and car...
Quezada-Pinedo, HG; Jaddoe, V; Duijts, L; Muka, T; Vermeulen, MJ; Reiss, IKM; Santos, SBackground Whether maternal iron status during pregnancy is associated with cardiometabolic health in the offspring is poorly known. Objectives We aimed to assess the associations of maternal iron status during early pregnancy with body fat measures and cardiometabolic risk factors in children aged 10 y. Methods In a population-based cohort study among 3718 mother–child pairs, we measured ferritin, transferrin,...
Early-life respiratory tract infections and the risk of school-age lower lung f...
van Meel, ER; Mensink-Bout, SM; den Dekker, HT; Ahluwalia, TS; Annesi-Maesano, I; Arshad, SH; Baïz, N; Barros, H; von Berg, A; Bisgaard, HBackground Early-life respiratory tract infections might affect chronic obstructive respiratory diseases, but conclusive studies from general populations are lacking. Our objective was to examine if children with early-life respiratory tract infections had increased risks of lower lung function and asthma at school age. Methods We used individual participant data of 150 090 children primarily from the EU Child ...
Fish and seafood consumption during pregnancy and the risk of asthma and allerg...
Stratakis, N; Roumeliotaki, T; Oken, E; Ballester, F; Barros, H; Basterrechea, M; Cordier, S; de Groot, R; den Dekker, HT; Duijts, L; Eggesbø, MBackground: It has been suggested that prenatal exposure to n-3 long-chain fatty acids protects against asthma and other allergy-related diseases later in childhood. The extent to which fish intake in pregnancy protects against child asthma and rhinitis symptoms remains unclear. We aimed to assess whether fish and seafood consumption in pregnancy is associated with childhood wheeze, asthma and allergic rhinitis...
Mode of Delivery and Asthma at School Age in 9 European Birth Cohorts
Rusconi, F; Zugna, D; Annesi-Maesano, I; Baïz, N; Barros, H; Correia, S; Duijts, L; Forastiere, F; Inskip, H; Kelleher, CC; Larsen, PS; Mommers, MEvidence on the association between mode of delivery and asthma at school age is inconclusive. We assessed the associations between specific modes of delivery and asthma in children from 9 European birth cohorts that enrolled participants between 1996 and 2006. Cohort-specific crude and adjusted risk ratios for asthma at ages 5–9 years were calculated using Poisson regression models and pooled. A sensitivity an...

Jelena Vidakovic, A; Santos, S; Williams, MA; Duijts, L; Hofman, A; Demmelmair, H; Koletzko, B; Jaddoe, VW; Gaillard, ROBJECTIVE:The associations of maternal plasma n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentrations during pregnancy with infant subcutaneous fat were examined. METHODS:In a population-based prospective cohort study among 904 mothers and their infants, maternal plasma n-3 and n-6 PUFA concentrations were measured at midpregnancy. Body mass index, total subcutaneous fat, and central-to-total subcutaneous ...
