Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal Exposure to Air Pollution, Maternal Psychological Distress, and Child Behavior
Frederica P. Perera,Shuang Wang,Virginia Rauh,Hui Zhou,Laura Stigter,David Camann,Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Elzbieta Mroz,Renata Majewska +8 more
TL;DR: Maternal demoralization during pregnancy appears to have a greater effect on child neurobehavioral development among children who experienced high prenatal PAH exposure, indicating the need for a multifaceted approach to the prevention of developmental problems in children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excessive gestational weight gain is associated with long-term body fat and weight retention at 7 y postpartum in African American and Dominican mothers with underweight, normal, and overweight prepregnancy BMI
Elizabeth M. Widen,Robin M. Whyatt,Lori Hoepner,Judyth Ramirez-Carvey,Sharon E. Oberfield,Abeer Hassoun,Frederica P. Perera,Dympna Gallagher,Andrew Rundle +8 more
TL;DR: Long-term adiposity and PPWR in low-income African American and Dominican mothers were predicted by interacting effects of prepregnancy BMI and excessive GWG, and the provision of support for mothers to begin pregnancy at a healthy weight and to gain weight appropriately during pregnancy may have important lasting implications for weight-related health in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chlorpyrifos Exposure and Urban Residential Environment Characteristics as Determinants of Early Childhood Neurodevelopment
Gina S. Lovasi,James W. Quinn,Virginia Rauh,Frederica P. Perera,Howard Andrews,Robin Garfinkel,Lori Hoepner,Robin M. Whyatt,Andrew Rundle +8 more
TL;DR: Neighborhood context and chlorpyrifos exposure were independently associated with neurodevelopment, thus providing distinct opportunities for health promotion, and neighborhood-level confounding of the chlorp Pyrifos-neurodevelopment association was not apparent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution effects on fetal and child development: a cohort comparison in China.
Deliang L. Tang,Ting Yu Li,Judith C. Chow,Sanasi U. Kulkarni,John G. Watson,Steven Sai Hang Ho,Zhang Y. Quan,Lirong Qu,Frederica P. Perera +8 more
TL;DR: Examination of the relationship between prenatal exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and fetal and child growth and development in Tongliang, China found head circumference was greater in children of the second cohort, consistent with significantly reduced levels of cord blood PAH-DNA adducts in cohort II.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposure, LINE1 methylation and child development in a Chinese cohort.
Joan Lee,Vrinda Kalia,Frederica P. Perera,Julie B. Herbstman,Tingyu Li,Jisheng Nie,Lirong Qu,Jie Yu,Deliang Tang +8 more
TL;DR: LINE1 methylation in cord blood DNA was a positive predictor of IQ at age 5 and was decreased at higher levels of prenatal PAH exposure measured by PAH-DNA adducts in cordBlood, however, the adverse effects of prenatal exposure to PAH on IQ scores did not appear to be directly mediated by altered LINE1methylation.
