Llauradó-Pont, J; Stratakis, N; Fiorito, G; Handakas, E; Neumann, A; Barros, H; Brantsæter, AL; Chang, K; Chatzi, L; Felix, JF; Grazuleviciene, R"Background/objective: There is limited knowledge on how diet affects the epigenome of children. Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption is emerging as an important factor impacting health, but mechanisms need to be uncovered. We therefore aimed to assess the association between UPF consumption and DNA methylation in children. Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis of epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) fro...
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...
European birth cohorts for environmental health research
Vrijheid, M; Casas, M; Bergström, A; Carmichael, A; Cordier, S; Eggesbø, M; Eller, E; Fantini, MP; Fernández, MF; Fernández-Somoano, A; Gehring, UBackground: Many pregnancy and birth cohort studies investigate the health effects of early-life environmental contaminant exposure. An overview of existing studies and their data is needed to improve collaboration, harmonization, and future project planning. Objectives: Our goal was to create a comprehensive overview of European birth cohorts with environmental exposure data. Methods: Birth cohort studies were...
