Journal ArticleDOI
Early life risk factors for obesity in childhood: cohort study
John J. Reilly,Julie Armstrong,Ahmad Reza Dorosty,Pauline M Emmett,Andy R Ness,Imogen Rogers,Colin D Steer,Andrea Sherriff +7 more
TL;DR: Eight factors in early life are associated with an increased risk of obesity in childhood, including parental obesity and catch-up growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between postnatal catch-up growth and obesity in childhood: prospective cohort study.
TL;DR: In this contemporary well nourished cohort, catch-up growth was predicted by factors relating to intrauterine restraint of fetal growth, and children who showed catch- up growth between zero and two years were fatter and had more central fat distribution at five years than other children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal seafood consumption in pregnancy and neurodevelopmental outcomes in childhood (ALSPAC study): an observational cohort study.
Joseph R. Hibbeln,John M. Davis,Colin D Steer,Pauline M Emmett,Imogen Rogers,Cathy Williams,Jean Golding +6 more
TL;DR: Risks from the loss of nutrients were greater than the risks of harm from exposure to trace contaminants in 340 g seafood eaten weekly, suggesting that advice to limit seafood consumption could actually be detrimental.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of inadequate iodine status in UK pregnant women on cognitive outcomes in their children: results from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC)
TL;DR: The results show the importance of adequate iodine status during early gestation and emphasise the risk that iodine deficiency can pose to the developing infant, even in a country classified as only mildly iodine deficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size at Birth and Early Childhood Growth in Relation to Maternal Smoking, Parity and Infant Breast-Feeding: Longitudinal Birth Cohort Study and Analysis
TL;DR: Early postnatal growth rates are strongly influenced by a drive to compensate for antenatal restraint or enhancement of fetal growth by maternal-uterine factors, particularly in breast- and bottle-fed infants.
