Changes in parental smoking during pregnancy and risks of adverse birth outcome...
Philips, EM; Santos, S; Trasande, L; Aurrekoetxea, JJ; Barros, H; von Berg, A; Bergström, A; Bird, PK; Brescianini, S; Ní Chaoimh, C; Charles, MABackground. Fetal smoke exposure is a common and key avoidable risk factor for birth complications and seems to influence later risk of overweight. It is unclear whether this increased risk is also present if mothers smoke during the first trimester only or reduce the number of cigarettes during pregnancy, or when only fathers smoke. We aimed to assess the associations of parental smoking during pregnancy, spec...
Maternal body mass index, gestational weight gain, and the risk of overweight a...
Voerman, E; Santos, S; Patro Golab, B; Amiano, P; Ballester, F; Barros, H; Bergström, A; Charles, MA; Chatzi, L; Chevrier, C; Chrousos, GPMaternal obesity and excessive gestational weight gain may have persistent effects on offspring fat development. However, it remains unclear whether these effects differ by severity of obesity, and whether these effects are restricted to the extremes of maternal body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain. We aimed to assess the separate and combined associations of maternal BMI and gestational weight gai...
Impact of maternal body mass index and gestational weight gain on pregnancy com...
Santos, S; Voerman, E; Amiano, P; Barros, H; Beilin, LJ; Bergström, A; Charles, MA; Chatzi, L; Chevrier, C; Chrousos, GP; Corpeleijn, E; Costa, OObjective To assess the separate and combined associations of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain with the risks of pregnancy complications and their population impact. Design Individual participant data meta-analysis of 39 cohorts. Setting Europe, North America, and Oceania. Population 265 270 births. Methods Information on maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, gestational weight gai...
Gestational weight gain charts for different body mass index groups for women i...
Santos, S; Eekhout, I; Voerman, E; Gaillard, R; Barros, H; Charles, MA; Chatzi, L; Chevrier, C; Chrousos, GP; Corpeleijn, E; Costet, N; Crozier, SBackgroundGestational weight gain differs according to pre-pregnancy body mass index and is related to the risks of adverse maternal and child health outcomes. Gestational weight gain charts for women in different pre-pregnancy body mass index groups enable identification of women and offspring at risk for adverse health outcomes. We aimed to construct gestational weight gain reference charts for underweight, n...
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...
Fish Intake in Pregnancy and Child Growth A Pooled Analysis of 15 European and ...
Stratakis, N; Roumeliotaki, T; Oken, E; Barros, H; Basterrechea, M; Charles, MA; Eggesbo, M; Forastiere, F; Gaillard, R; Gehring, U; Govarts, EIMPORTANCE: Maternal fish intake in pregnancy has been shown to influence fetal growth. The extent to which fish intake affects childhood growth and obesity remains unclear. OBJECTIVE:To examine whether fish intake in pregnancy is associated with offspring growth and the risk of childhood overweight and obesity. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS:Multicenter, population-based birth cohort study of singleton deli...
Maternal complications in pregnancy and wheezing in early childhood: A pooled a...
Zugna, D; Galassi, C; Annesi-Maesano, I; Baïz, N; Barros, H; Basterrechea, M; Correia, S; Duijts, L; Esplugues, A; Fantini, MP; Forastiere, F; Gascon, MBackground: Evidence on the effect of maternal complications in pregnancy on wheezing in offspring is still insufficient. Methods: A pooled analysis was performed on individual participant data from fourteen European birth cohorts to assess the relationship between several maternal pregnancy complications and wheezing symptoms in the offspring. Exposures of interest included hypertension and preeclampsia, diabe...
Fish intake during pregnancy, fetal growth, and gestational length in 19 Europe...
Leventakou, V; Roumeliotaki, T; Martinez, D; Barros, H; Brantsaeter, AL; Casas, M; Charles, MA; Cordier, S; Eggesbo, M; van Eijsden, M; Forastiere, FBACKGROUND: Fish is a rich source of essential nutrients for fetal development, but in contrast, it is also a well-known route of exposure to environmental pollutants. OBJECTIVE: We assessed whether fish intake during pregnancy is associated with fetal growth and the length of gestation in a panel of European birth cohort studies. DESIGN: The study sample of 151,880 mother-child pairs was derived from 19 popula...
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...
