The impact of maternal mood and economic stress during Covid-19 pandemic on infant behaviour
The UK Covid-19 New Mum Study (cross-sectional study) recorded maternal experience during the early stages of the pandemic. Our previous analyses showed that the pandemic and 2020 national lockdown negatively impacted maternal mental health. Here, we describe changes in infant behaviour (crying and fussiness) reported by the mother during the Covid-19 pandemic compared to beforehand, and test whether these changes are associated with maternal var…
The impact of Covid ‐19 on the number of births in Yucatan, Mexico
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the number of births in Yucatan, Mexico during 2020 and 2021. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 470 651 live births occurred in Yucatan from January 1st, 2008, to December 31st, 2021, and were included in the analysis. The monthly number of births observed during January 2008-February 2020 was used to describe pre-pandemic trends. Time-series analysis was applied to examine whether the number of birt…
Socio-economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on new mothers and associations with psychosocial wellbeing
Studies have reported unequal socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions in the UK, despite support packages. It is unclear how women with young children, a vulnerable group economically and psychosocially, havebeen impacted by income and employment pandemic changes, and how this is associated with psychosocial wellbeing. Using the UK COVID-19 New Mum online survey of women with children th May 2020-26 th June 202…
The timing of adrenarche in Maya girls, Merida, Mexico
BACKGROUND: Adrenarche involves maturation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and increased production of dehydroepiandrosterone and its sulfate ester, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S). It occurs at ages 6 to 8 in industrialized populations, marking the transition from childhood to juvenility and cognitive development at middle childhood. Studies in subsistence level populations indicate a later age (8-9) for adrenarche, but only t…

Birth Seasonality in Yucatan, Mexico
Maternal maya ancestry and birth weight in Yucatan, Mexico
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between maternal Maya ancestry and the birth weight of infants born in Yucatan, Mexico, during 2013. METHODS: A total of 30,435 singletons born at term (≥37 weeks) in Yucatan during 2013 were analyzed. Birth weights, gestational ages, and maternal socioeconomic data were provided by the Ministry of Health of Yucatan. Maternal Maya ancestry was defined by the presence of Maya sur…
Globalization and children’s diets
Globalization is, in part, an economic force to bring about a closer integration of national economies. Globalization is also a biological, social and ideological process of change. Globalization results in powerful multinational corporations imposing their products on new markets. Food globalization brings about nutritional transitions, the most common being a shift from a locally-grown diet with minimally refined foods, to the modern diet of h…
Variation in Height and Knee Height in Adolescents in Merida, Mexico, by Head of Household Employment Level and Family Income
Variation in height among young adults has been linked to the living conditions of different social groups. The aim of this study was to measure variation in the height and knee height of young adults by head of household employment level and family income. The sample comprised 180 individuals (90 girls) aged 16 and 17 years living in the city of Merida, Mexico. Height and knee height were measured by anthropometry, and individuals' family social…
Effects of maya ancestry and environmental variables on knee height and body proportionality in growing individuals in merida, yucatan
Growth measurements were more responsive to the studied environmental variables than to ancestry-related genetic conditions. Genetic predisposition is, therefore, not the primary cause of short stature in this sample of Yucatec Mayas
