Measuring and monitoring child health and well-being—an integral part of the climate change agenda
Climate change has far-reaching consequences for all aspects of human society (Romanello et al. 2023). Children are uniquely vulnerable to climate change for a multitude of physiological and developmental reasons as well as because of distinctive behaviors such as outdoor play that increase their exposure to climate-related stressors (EPA 2023). Several reviews have summarized the multiple direct and indirect pathways through which climate change…
The prevalence of long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm-born children in low- and middle-income countries
An innovative, digital approach to training district health care providers on essential newborn care skills
Background: In Lao People's Democratic Republic, the skills of newborn care providers at district hospitals degrades soon after training due to lack of regular supervision and/or refresher training. This pilot trial evaluated the potential effectiveness and acceptability of the novel intervention to maintain providers' early essential newborn care (EENC) knowledge and skills. Methods: This was a parallel, cluster-randomised pilot trial with embed…
Standardising the measurement of child health indicators within global climate adaptation
Reaching the unreached through building trust
INTRODUCTION: The global COVID-19 vaccine rollout has been impacted by socioeconomic disparities and vaccine hesitancy, but few studies examine reasons for changed attitudes. In Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), a nationwide government-led initiative was developed in response to COVID-19, focused on community health ownership and trust in primary healthcare. The intervention team including health and governance sectors conducted capacit…
Community engagement and local governance for health equity through trust
Community engagement and local governance are important components of health interventions aiming to empower local populations. Yet, there is limited evidence on how to effectively engage with communities and codevelop interventions, especially in Southeast Asian contexts. Despite rapid progress, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) still has high maternal and child mortality, with essential service coverage showing significant disparit…

High Incidence of Atopic Dermatitis among Children Whose Fathers Work in Primary Industry
The hygiene hypothesis assumes a low incidence of allergic diseases in families engaging in farming work. However, a few studies have indicated rural life as a potential risk factor for atopic dermatitis (AD). Using a large Japanese birth cohort dataset, we calculated the accumulated incidence of AD in children aged 6 months and 1, 2, and 3 years by family business and the hazard ratio. We adjusted for confounding factors. The father's job was co…
Exposure to House Dust Mite Allergen and Endotoxin in Early Life and Sensitization and Allergic Rhinitis
The association between endotoxin and allergic rhinitis (AR) is not conclusive. The aim of this study was to determine the association between endotoxin and house dust mite (HDM) allergens in dust, and HDM sensitization and AR among Japanese infants. This study included 4188 participants in the Sub-Cohort Study of the Japan Environment and Children's Study. Dust was collected from children's mattresses at age 18 months and endotoxin and HDM aller…
Revitalizing child health
Essential health, education and other service disruptions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic risk reversing some of the hard-won gains in improving child survival over the past 40 years. Although children have milder symptoms of COVID-19 disease than adults, pandemic control measures in many countries have disrupted health, education and other services for children, often leaving them without access to birth and postnatal care, vaccinations and e…
Association between Maternal Exposure to Chemicals during Pregnancy and the Risk of Foetal Death
Scarce knowledge is available on the relationship between maternal chemical exposure during pregnancy and foetal deaths. We studied the association of spontaneous abortions and stillbirths with occupational or daily maternal exposure to chemicals commonly used by pregnant women. Data from the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS), a nationwide prospective birth cohort study, were used. The participants of the study were asked about the fr…
Influence of Maternal Active and Secondhand Smoking during Pregnancy on Childhood Obesity at 3 Years of Age
Maternal smoking during pregnancy is a risk factor for childhood obesity; however, the combined effect of secondhand smoking during pregnancy on children in the early years is unclear. We examined the effects of maternal active and secondhand smoking during pregnancy on childhood obesity in a large population-based cohort. A nested case-control study originating from the Japan Environment and Children's Study was performed. The maternal smoking s…
