UnknownNeighborhood Food Access in Early Life and Trajectories of Child Body Mass Index and Obesity.

Importance

Limited access to healthy foods, resulting from residence in neighborhoods with low food access, is a public health concern. The contribution of this exposure in early life to child obesity remains uncertain.

Objective

To examine associations of neighborhood food access dur...

UnknownIndividual and combined effects of indoor home exposures and ambient PM<sub>2.5</sub> during early life on childhood asthma in us birth cohort studies.

Background

Children encounter multiple indoor and outdoor environmental exposures in early life. We assessed the independent effects of indoor home exposures and ambient particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) on early childhood asthma diagnosis.

Methods...

UnknownHost factors are associated with vaginal microbiome structure in pregnancy in the ECHO Cohort Consortium.
Using pooled vaginal microbiota data from pregnancy cohorts (N = 683 participants) in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program, we analyzed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequences to identify clinical and demographic host factors that associate with vaginal microbiota structure ...

UnknownThe Association of Prenatal Dietary Factors with Child Autism Diagnosis and Autism-Related Traits Using a Mixtures Approach: Results from the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes Cohort.

Background

Previous research on the role of maternal diet in relation to autism has focused on examining individual nutrient associations. Few studies have examined associations with multiple nutrients using mixtures approaches, which may better reflect true exposure scenarios.

Objectives...

UnknownRacial and ethnic differences in prenatal exposure to environmental phenols and parabens in the ECHO Cohort.

Background

Research suggests racial/ethnic disparities in prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting environmental phenols (EPs) in limited populations. However, no studies have investigated racial/ethnic disparities in prenatal EP exposure across the U.S.

Objectives

To estimate demogr...

UnknownAssociations between a novel measure of sleep health and cognitive functioning in middle childhood: a crosssectional Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes cohort study.

Study objectives

Research linking children's sleep to cognitive outcomes is inconsistent and has largely focused on one aspect of sleep, such as duration, rather than measuring multiple dimensions of sleep health. We hypothesized that children's sleep health would be positively associated wi...

UnknownCOVID-19 Pandemic Exposure and Toddler Behavioral Health in the ECHO Program.

Importance

Studies suggest developmental concerns for infants born during the COVID-19 pandemic, but evidence on its impact on toddler behavioral and emotional well-being remains limited.

Objective

To assess whether birth timing relative to the COVID-19 pandemic is associated with tod...

UnknownPrenatal Diet and Infant Growth From Birth to Age 24 Months.

Importance

Being born either small for gestational age (SGA) or large for gestational age (LGA) and experiencing rapid or slow growth after birth are associated with later-life obesity. Understanding the associations of dietary quality during pregnancy with infant growth may inform obesity p...
