Predictors of ultra-processed foods consumption in 4-year-old Spanish children
Ultra-processed foods (UPF) consumption has increased in recent decades, contributing to poor diet quality and certain health problems in early childhood. This study aimed to evaluate UPF consumption in 4-year-old children and determine maternal and child sociodemographic and lifestyle predictors of UPF consumption. We analysed data for 1736 mother-child pairs from the INfancia y Medio Ambiente birth cohort study. Children's diets were parent-rep…
PCDD/Fs Y DLPCBS en Suero Antes Y Después Del Arranque De Una Planta De Valorización Energética
Los contaminantes del aire relacionados con la incineración de residuos como fuentes de exposición son las dioxinas, furanos y los PCB, contaminantes persistentes que se acumulan en las cadenas alimentarias, siendo el consumo de alimentos grasos la principal fuente de exposición (> 90%). La implementación de una planta de valorización energética (PVE) en Gipuzkoa motivó la realización de un estudio epidemiológico para evaluar si la población expu…

Serum metal levels in a population of Spanish pregnant women
To describe serum levels of calcium, copper, selenium, magnesium, iron and zinc and evaluate their relationship with maternal socio-demographic characteristics and dietary variables in women in the first trimester of pregnancy. Cross-sectional study with 1279 participants from the INMA cohorts. The concentrations of the elements analyzed were within the normal range. Associations with higher levels of these metals were found for calcium with whit…
Association between the Use of Folic Acid Supplements during Pregnancy and Children’s Cognitive Function at 7–9 Years of Age in the Inma Cohort Study
This study investigated the association between maternal low (<400 μg/day) or high (≥1000 μg/day) folic acid supplements (FAs) use during pregnancy and the attentional function and working memory in boys and girls at age 7-9. A longitudinal analysis based on 1609 mother-child pairs from the Spanish Infancia y Medio Ambiente Project was carried out. Multivariable regression analyses revealed that, compared to the recommended FAs use, a low FAs use…
Validation of a Parent-Reported Physical Activity Questionnaire by Accelerometry in European Children Aged from 6 to 12 Years Old
Validated physical activity (PA) questionnaires are crucial for collecting information in large epidemiological studies during childhood. Thus, this study analyzed the validity of a parent-reported PA questionnaire based on the Children’s Leisure Activities Study Survey by accelerometry in European children aged from 6 to 12 years old. We used data from 230 children of the Human Early-Life Exposome and Infancia y Medio Ambiente projects. Mean dif…
Risk of child poverty and social exclusion in two Spanish regions
Describe the risk of poverty and social exclusion in children aged 8-11 years from Gipuzkoa and Valencia (Spain), through AROPE (At Risk Of Poverty or Social Exclusion) indicators, and evaluate their associated factors in the INMA Project (Childhood and Environment). Families in Gipuzkoa and Valencia (394 and 382, respectively) completed a questionnaire in 2015-2016. Low work intensity (LWI), at risk of poverty (RP) and material deprivation (MD) …
Prenatal Manganese Exposure and Long-Term Neuropsychological Development at 4 Years of Age in a Population-Based Birth Cohort
Background : Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient for humans, the diet being the main source of exposure. Some epidemiological studies describe a negative association between prenatal Mn and later neuropsychological development, but results are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to explore the association between prenatal Mn exposure and neuropsychological development assessed at 4 years of age. Methods : Study subjects were 304 moth…
Maternal Ferritin Levels during Pregnancy and ADHD Symptoms in 4-Year-Old Children
Ferritin status during prenatal brain development may influence the risk of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in childhood. We investigated the association of maternal ferritin in pregnancy and ADHD-like symptoms in offspring. A total of 1095 mother-child pairs from three birth cohorts of the INMA Project (Spain) were studied. Maternal plasma ferritin in pregnancy was measured at 11.57 weeks of gestation. Children's ADH…
Social Factors Associated with Non-initiation and Cessation of Predominant Breastfeeding in a Mother–Child Cohort in Spain
Characterisation of exposure to non-ionising electromagnetic fields in the Spanish Inma birth cohort
Characterisation of the EMF-NIR exposure by this combination of methods is intended to overcome problems encountered in other research. The assessment of exposure of INMA cohort children and adolescents living in different regions of Spain to the full frequency range of EMF-NIR extends the characterisation of environmental exposures in this cohort. Together with other data obtained in the project, on socioeconomic and family characteristics and d…
Socio-Economic Inequalities in Health, Habits and Self-Care During Pregnancy in Spain
Socioeconomic status and exposure to multiple environmental pollutants during pregnancy
BACKGROUND: Inequities in the distribution of environmental exposures may add an extra burden to socially disadvantaged populations, especially when acting during vulnerable periods such as pregnancy and early life, but such inequities may be more complex and uncertain than is generally assumed. We therefore examine whether socioeconomic inequities exist in pregnancy exposures to multiple common environmental contaminants in air, water and food. …
