Prenatal and Postnatal Serum PCB Concentrations and Cochlear Function in Children at 45 Months of Age
BACKGROUND Some experimental and human data suggest that exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may induce ototoxicity, though results of previous epidemiologic studies are mixed and generally focus on either prenatal or postnatal PCB concentrations exclusively. OBJECTIVES Our aim was to evaluate the association between pre- and postnatal PCB concentrations in relation to cochlear statu...
متن کاملPrenatal Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) Exposure and Child Behavior at Age 6–7 Years
BACKGROUND Airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are widespread urban air pollutants from fossil fuel burning and other combustion sources. We previously reported that a broad spectrum of combustion-related DNA adducts in cord blood was associated with attention problems at 6-7 years of age in the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health (CCCEH) longitudinal cohort study. ...
متن کاملPrenatal alcohol exposure and childhood behavior at age 6 to 7 years: I. dose-response effect.
OBJECTIVE Moderate to heavy levels of prenatal alcohol exposure have been associated with alterations in child behavior, but limited data are available on adverse effects after low levels of exposure. The objective of this study was to evaluate the dose-response effect of prenatal alcohol exposure for adverse child behavior outcomes at 6 to 7 years of age. METHODS Beginning in 1986, women att...
متن کاملPrenatal famine exposure and cognition at age 59 years.
BACKGROUND Despite the perceived importance of early life nutrition for mental development, few studies have related gestational undernutrition to later-life cognitive functioning. We investigated the consequences of gestational exposure to the Dutch famine of 1944-45 for cognitive functioning at the age of 59 years. METHODS We recruited men and women who were (i) born in birth clinics in Ams...
متن کاملMotor and executive function at 6 years of age after extremely preterm birth.
BACKGROUND Studies of very preterm infants have demonstrated impairments in multiple neurocognitive domains. We hypothesized that neuromotor and executive-function deficits may independently contribute to school failure. METHODS We studied children who were born at < or = 25 completed weeks' gestation in the United Kingdom and Ireland in 1995 at early school age. Children underwent standardiz...
