Effect of maternal smoking in pregnancy and childhood on child and adolescent sleep outcomes to 21?years: a birth cohort study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The effects of prenatal maternal smoking have been studied extensively, however little research has examined the effects of prenatal exposure to maternal smoking on offspring sleep, particularly over several developmental periods. We examined the effects of prenatal maternal smoking and postnatal smoking from birth to 14?years, on offspring sleep at 6?months, 5, 14 and 21?years. METHODS:This was a prospective, community-based birth cohort study involving 7223 women who delivered a singleton child in Brisbane, Australia between 1981 and 1983. Women were recruited at the first antenatal visit. Offspring sleep problems were reported by mothers at 6?months, 5 and 14?years, and by youth at 14 and 21?years. 3738 mothers prospectively reported their smoking status from pregnancy to 14?years postpartum. Youth snoring was reported by mothers at 14?years and by youth at 21?years. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:Prenatal maternal smoking was independently associated with an increased risk of offspring adolescent parasomnias including walking and talking in sleep and nightmares, and an increased likelihood of being in the highest quintile for maternal and youth reported sleep problems at 14?years. Maternal postnatal smoking was associated with increased likelihood of offspring snoring at 14?years. CONCLUSIONS:Exposure to maternal prenatal smoking has different effects on offspring sleep compared to exposure to postnatal smoking. Prenatal smoking exposure may be associated with changes in neurodevelopment whereas postnatal smoking is more likely to affect the respiratory system. These findings highlight the long lasting and potentially serious clinical effects of exposure to pre and postnatal maternal smoking on offspring, the mechanisms by which warrant further investigation.

Project description:BackgroundLow birth weight and gestational maternal smoking have been linked with reduced lung function in children in many cross sectional studies. However, these associations have not yet been assessed with repeated measurements of lung function. Our aim was to investigate the effects of birth weight, gestational age, and gestational maternal smoking on lung function in children at age 10 and 18 years.MethodsIn the Isle of Wight birth cohort spirometry was performed at age 10 and 18 years. Information on birth weight and gestational age were obtained from hospital records. Mothers were asked about smoking during pregnancy. We employed linear mixed models to estimate the effect of these risk factors on repeated measurements of lung function. We considered maternal asthma, sex, neonatal intensive care unit admission, height, socio-economic status, personal smoking in participants at age 18, body mass index and environmental tobacco smoke exposure as potential confounders. Finally, we used path analysis to determine links between birth weight, gestational age and gestational maternal smoking on lung function at age 10 and 18 years.ResultsLinear mixed models showed that with every 1 kg increase in birth weight, Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) increased by 42.6 ± 17.2 mL and Forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% (FEF25-75) of Forced vital capacity (FVC) increased by 95.5 ± 41.2 mL at age 18 years after adjusting for potential confounders. Path analysis suggested that birth weight had positive direct effects on FEV1 and FEF25-75 and positive indirect effect on FVC at 10 years which were carried forward to 18 years. Additionally, results also suggested a positive association between gestational age and FEV1, FVC and FEF25-75 at ages 10 and 18 years and an inverse association between gestational smoke exposure and FEV1/FVC ratio and FEF25-75 at age 18 years.ConclusionsHigher birth weight and gestational age were associated with higher FEV1, FVC and FEF25-75 and maternal smoking during pregnancy was associated with reduced FEV1/FVC ratio and FEF25-75. The use of path analysis can improve our understanding of underlying "causal" pathways among different prenatal and childhood factors that affect lung function in both pre-adolescent and adolescent periods.

Project description:BackgroundThe role of changes in maternal hemoglobin (Hb) across pregnancy on child health and development (CHD) remains unclear.ObjectiveWe examined the association between maternal Hb trajectories and CHD outcomes: (a) birth outcomes (birth weight, length, gestational age, preterm, and small for gestational age); (b) child Hb at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months; and (c) motor and mental development at 12 and 24 months and cognitive functioning at age 6-7 years.MethodsWe used data from a randomized controlled trial (PRECONCEPT) conducted in Vietnam (N = 1,175 women enrolled during preconception with offspring follow-up through 6-7 years). Maternal Hb trajectories were developed using latent class analysis with Hb data at preconception, early (≤20 weeks), mid (21-29 weeks), and late (≥30 weeks) pregnancy. Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were used to assess the association between maternal Hb trajectories on CHD outcomes, adjusting for confounding variables at the maternal, child and household levels.ResultsFour distinct maternal Hb trajectories were identified. Track 1 (low initial Hb-decline) was associated with lower child Hb at 3 months (β [95% CI] -0.52 [-0.87, -0.16]), 6 months (-0.36 [-0.68, -0.05]), 12 months (-0.46 [-0.79, -0.13]), and 24 months (-0.44 [-0.72, -0.15]) and motor development at 12 months (-3.58 [-6.76, -0.40]) compared to track 4 (high initial Hb-decline). After adjustment for multiple testing, relationships remained robust with the exception of associations with child Hb at 6 months and motor development at 12 months. Track 2 (low initial Hb-improve) was the only Hb trajectory to increase across pregnancy; however, it was insufficiently powered. Track 3 (mid Hb-decline) was associated with lower child Hb at 12 months (-0.27 [-0.44, -0.10]) and 24 months (-0.20 [-0.34, -0.05]) compared to track 4 (high initial Hb-decline). Maternal Hb trajectories were not associated with birth outcomes or child development at 24 months or 6-7 years.ConclusionMaternal Hb trajectories during pregnancy are associated with child Hb concentrations across the first 1,000 days, but not with birth outcomes or later cognitive functioning. More work is needed to better understand and interpret changes in Hb levels during pregnancy especially in resource poor settings.

Project description:Despite well-known adverse health effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSP), it is still unclear if MSP varies geographically and if neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation (SED) plays an important role in MSP. This study aims to investigate small-area geographic variation in MSP and examine the association of SED with MSP.The Missouri Adolescent Female Twin Study (MOAFTS) is a cohort study of female like-sex twins born in Missouri to Missouri-resident parents during 1975-1985. Biological mothers completed a baseline interview in 1995-1998 and reported MSP with the twins. Residential address of the mother at birth was geocoded. We developed a census tract-level SED index using a common factor approach based on 21 area-level socioeconomic variables from the 1980 Census data. Multilevel logistic regressions estimated geographic heterogeneity (random effect) in MSP and the odds ratios (ORs, fixed effects) of neighborhood SED associated with MSP.Of 1658 MOAFTS mothers, 35.2% reported any MSP and 21.9% reported MSP beyond the first trimester. Neighborhood SED was associated with any MSP (the highest vs. the lowest quartile: OR = 1.90, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.40-2.57, Ptrend<0.001) and MSP beyond the first trimester (OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.38-2.85, Ptrend = 0.002) in unadjusted analyses. After adjusting for individual covariates (demographics, socioeconomic conditions, alcohol use, and parents' cohabitation), neighborhood SED was not associated with MSP, but geographic variation still persisted in MSP (variance = 0.41, P = 0.003) and in MSP beyond the first trimester (variance = 0.82, P<0.001).Neighborhood SED was associated with MSP in unadjusted analyses but this association could be explained by individual socioeconomic conditions. Nonetheless, significant geographic variation in MSP persisted and was not accounted for by differences in neighborhood SED. To develop effective interventions to reduce MSP, further studies are necessary to explore underlying reasons for its geographic variation.
