The Impact of Covid-19 on Maternal Health
COVID-19 restrictions changed initial plans for baby showers, births, and childcare, and impacted the participants' mental health. Physical distance measures have resulted in isolation and stress. We expect these findings to lead to developing interventions for community health centers and parents/caretakers in Puerto Rico
Prospective association of adverse childhood experiences and social support with all-cause mortality among young adults in the USA
Background This study examined the independent effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and social support on all-cause mortality among US young adults and assessed whether social support modified the ACEs–mortality association. Methods We used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, a population-based prospective US cohort. Our study sample included 12 421 children and adolescents aged 11–17 years at basel…
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Pregnancy, Birth Experiences, and Mental Health
COVID-19 restrictions impacted the experiences in receiving healthcare services, particularly regarding the birthing process and the participants' mental health. Social support, particularly from family, was found to be a protective factor for facing the challenges during pandemic times. We expect that the findings can lead to the development of interventions for community health centers, prenatal clinics, non-governmental organizations, and pare…
Demographic and health characteristics associated with fish and n -3 fatty acid supplement intake during pregnancy
Objective: n -3 fatty acid consumption during pregnancy is recommended for optimal pregnancy outcomes and offspring health. We examined characteristics associated with self-reported fish or n -3 supplement intake. Design: Pooled pregnancy cohort studies. Setting: Cohorts participating in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) consortium with births from 1999 to 2020. Participants: A total of 10 800 pregnant women in twenty-t…
Association of maternal education, neighborhood deprivation, and racial segregation with gestational age at birth by maternal race/ethnicity and United States Census region in the Echo cohorts
Background In the United States, disparities in gestational age at birth by maternal race, ethnicity, and geography are theorized to be related, in part, to differences in individual- and neighborhood-level socioeconomic status (SES). Yet, few studies have examined their combined effects or whether associations vary by maternal race and ethnicity and United States Census region. Methods We assembled data from 34 cohorts in the Environmental influ…
Maternal Metals/Metalloid Blood Levels Are Associated With Lipidomic Profiles Among Pregnant Women in Puerto Rico
Background/Aim: The association between heavy metal exposure and adverse birth outcomes is well-established. However, there is a paucity of research identifying biomarker profiles that may improve the early detection of heavy metal-induced adverse birth outcomes. Because lipids are abundant in our body and associated with important signaling pathways, we assessed associations between maternal metals/metalloid blood levels with lipidomic profiles …
The Impact of Natural Disasters on Maternal Health
The PROTECT research Center funded by the NIH's National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Superfund Research Program was launched in 2010 to explore the impact of exposure to pollutants on the high rate of premature births in Puerto Rico. In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and María devastated the archipelago, which caused: collapse of the electrical system, collapse of the communication system, limited access to clean water, fo…
Investigating the impact of Hurricane Maria on an ongoing birth cohort in Puerto Rico
Impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria on Puerto Rico Maternal and Child Health Research Programs
Relationship Between Prepregnancy Overweight, Obesity, and Preterm Birth in Puerto Rico
Hurricanes and the Environmental Justice Island
This article presents an overview of our research team's disaster response to the massive destruction of Hurricanes, Irma and Maria, in September 2017, in light of the 120-year colonial legacy and long-term, widespread environmental contamination in Puerto Rico. Both local and federal governmental responses have been extremely inadequate, especially in light of the long-standing issues of environmental contamination throughout the island. Communi…
Diet, Pre-pregnancy BMI, and Gestational Weight Gain in Puerto Rican Women
Birth Defects and Disabilities
The 20th century witnessed great advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of birth defects and developmental disabilities and in the quality of life and life expectancy in people living with disabilities. Through newborn screening, early recognition and treatment of phenyl-ketonuria and other metabolic disorders has led to the prevention of mental retardation.1 The development of new surgical techniques and clinical management of sele…
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Prevention in South Africa and Other Low-Resource Countries
For decades South Africa has endured an epidemic of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) that requires immediate and decisive public health attention. The prevalence rates of more than 40 cases per 1000 children in the Western and the Northern Cape Provinces and more than 20 cases per 1000 children in Gauteng Province represent some of the highest rates of FAS in the world. May et al.’s article on maternal risk factors for FAS in South Africa should be a…
