Prenatal and perinatal correlates of adult mammographic breast density.
BACKGROUND Adult mammographic percent density is one of the strongest known risk factors for breast cancer. In utero exposure to high levels of endogenous estrogens (or other pregnancy hormones) has been hypothesized to increase breast cancer risk in later life. We examined the hypothesis that those factors associated with higher levels of estrogen during pregnancy or shortly after birth are as...
متن کاملPrenatal Secondhand Smoke Exposure and Infant Birth Weight in China
Epidemiologic evidence provides some support for a causal association between maternal secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure during pregnancy and reduction in infant birth weight. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to examine the magnitude of this association in China, where both prevalence and dose of SHS exposure are thought to be higher than in U.S. populations. Women who gave birth in B...
متن کاملBiological matrices for the evaluation of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke during prenatal life and childhood.
The measurement of nicotine and its major metabolites cotinine and trans-3 -hydroxicotinine together with other minor metabolites (e.g., cotinine N-oxide, cotinine, and trans-3 -hydroxicotinine glucuronides) in conventional and nonconventional biological matrices has been used as a biomarker to assess the exposure to environmental tobacco smoke during childhood. The determination of these subst...
متن کاملPrenatal and Postnatal Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure and Children’s Health
Children’s exposure to tobacco constituents during fetal development and via environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure is perhaps the most ubiquitous and hazardous of children’s environmental exposures. A large literature links both prenatal maternal smoking and children’s ETS exposure to decreased lung growth and increased rates of respiratory tract infections, otitis media, and childhood ast...
متن کاملPrenatal Exposure to Wood Fuel Smoke and Low Birth Weight
BACKGROUND Maternal exposure to wood fuel smoke may lead to impaired fetal growth due to hypoxia and or oxidative stress from smoke constituents such as carbon monoxide and particulate matter. OBJECTIVES We studied the risk of low birth weight (LBW) and reduced mean birth weight in relation to reported use of wood for cooking during the prenatal period, compared with natural gas (NG). METHO...
