Residential Environment and Parental Lifestyle as Risk Factors of The Co-Occurrence of Cleft Lip and Palate Birth Defect Cases in Indonesia

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are multifactorial birth defects, and the etiology behind their occurrence remains insufficiently understood. This case-control study aimed to investigate the association between residential environmental factors, parental lifestyle, and the risk of CLP in Indonesia. A total of 213 participants from 14 provinces were selected using stratified random sampling. Multivariable logistic regression was employed to determine the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each risk factor. The study identified significant associations between several residential environmental factors and CLP. Proper kitchen ventilation was found to be protective (OR = 0.245, 95% CI: 0.096–0.624, p = 0.003), while proximity to industrial sites significantly increased the risk (OR = 3.595, 95% CI: 1.029–12.558, p = 0.045). Additionally, using treated drinking water showed a protective effect (OR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.16–0.95, p = 0.038), whereas concerns about water sources displayed a marginally significant risk increase (OR = 2.841, 95% CI: 0.876–9.211, p = 0.082). Regarding parental lifestyle factors, maternal active smoking exhibited a marginal protective association (OR = 0.052, 95% CI: 0.002–1.09, p = 0.057), while paternal passive smoking presented a marginally significant risk (OR = 2.309, 95% CI: 0.897–5.942, p = 0.083). Furthermore, paternal radiation exposure was associated with an elevated risk of CLP (OR = 3.489, 95% CI: 0.828–14.703, p = 0.089). These findings highlight the need for targeted public health interventions to mitigate environmental exposures and promote safer parental lifestyle behaviors in Indonesia.

Determinants of appetite in the first year of life: Results from a prospective study of infants

Abstract Childhood obesity, a growing public health problem, was shown to be associated with appetite traits (ATs) in infancy but little research exists on the determinants of early appetite. We aimed to examine the association between parental, pregnancy and infant variables on ATs during the first year of life. We followed up 450 healthy term infants assessing Enjoyment of Food (EF), Food Responsiveness (FR), Satiety Responsiveness (SR) and Slowness in Eating (SE), using the Baby (at 2-4 weeks (wk) & 6m) and the Child (at 12m) Eating Behaviour Questionnaires. Associations between parental sociodemographic and lifestyle, pregnancy, infant feeding and anthropometric factors, and these ATs were investigated. Multivariable linear regression models were built for each AT, incorporating statistically significant variables from minimally adjusted models (sex, gestational age, and ethnicity). Results primarily focus on ATs at 2-4wks, as later ATs were largely influenced by these values. Higher father’s BMI (β = 0.013, p = 0.022) was associated with increased EF at 2-4wks. Later gestational age (β = 0.106, p = 0.032), and gestational diabetes (β = 0.538, p = 0.002) were associated with higher FR 2-4wk while mixed feeding compared to exclusively breast feeding (β =-0.281, p = 0.013) with lower FR 2-4wk. Female sex (β = 0.174, p = 0.009) was positively, while gestational age (β=-0.076, 0.022), father’s educational attainment (β=-0.199, p = 0.003), father habitual smoking (β=-0.167, p = 0.020) and 4wk WFA z-score (β = 0.087, p = 0.037) were negatively associated with SR 2-4wk. Lastly, higher 4wk WFA z-score (β=-0.151, p = 0.012) and bottle feeding (β=-0.378, p = 0.003) were associated with decreased SE 2-4wk. Acknowledging that a causal association cannot be established in an observational study, this data suggests that parental lifestyle and pregnancy factors could influence infant ATs and hence risk of later obesity, highlighting the importance of preconception health in mitigating the problem of childhood obesity. Key messages • Appetite traits in early infancy are influenced by infant feeding and anthropometric variables, but also by parental and pregnancy characteristics. • The importance of preconception health is paramount in mitigating the problem of childhood obesity.

Environmental Stress-Induced Alterations in Embryo Developmental Morphokinetics.

The association between embryo morphokinetics and its developmental competence is well documented. For instance, early cleaved embryos are more competent in developing to blastocysts, whereas the proportion of abnormally cleaved embryos that further developed to blastocysts is low. Numerous factors, such as the parental age, lifestyle, health, and smoking habits have been reported to affect the embryo morphokinetics and, consequently, its development. However, less is known about the effect of environmental stressors on embryo morphokinetics. The current review discusses the effect of the most concerning environmental stressors on embryo morphokinetics. These stresses include heat stress and human-made chemicals such as phthalates (e.g., bis-(2-ethylhexyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, dimethyl phthalate, and their primary metabolites), herbicides (e.g., diaminochlorotriazine, the primary metabolite of atrazine), pharmaceutical compounds (e.g., carbamazepine, nocodazole) and pro-oxidant agents (cumene hydroperoxide, Triton X-100), as well as naturally occurring toxins such as mycotoxin (e.g., aflatoxin B1 and its metabolite, and ochratoxin A). In addition, this review discusses the effect of ionizing or non-ionizing radiation and viral infections (e.g., SARS-CoV-2, papillomavirus). Finally, it points out some potential mechanisms that underlie the impairment of embryo morphokinetics, and it suggests protective compounds, mainly the supplementation of antioxidants to improve the morphokinetics, and consequently, the embryo developmental competence.

A Quantitative Study on Parental Influence and Lifestyle Factors in Child Obesity

Child obesity is a growing global health concern, significantly impacting both developed and developing countries. This study examines the influence of parental behaviors and lifestyle factors on child obesity in Keyouqianqi, Inner Mongolia, China. Employing a quantitative research design, data was collected from 50 parents of obese children through structured questionnaires. Statistical analyses revealed significant associations between parental promotion of healthy eating, physical activity encouragement, and lower obesity rates, whereas restrictive feeding practices were linked to higher obesity rates. Lifestyle factors such as high-calorie food consumption, sugary beverage intake, insufficient physical activity, and excessive screen time were also significantly associated with child obesity. The findings underscore the importance of comprehensive interventions addressing both parental behaviors and children's lifestyle choices to combat child obesity effectively.

The effect of parental pain, disability benefits and education on risk of long-term sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorders and the modifying effect of sleep and physical activity: the HUNT study

BackgroundFamily factors, sleep, and physical activity have previously been associated with risk of sick leave and disability benefits due to musculoskeletal disorders. However, how these factors act during adolescence and young adulthood is unclear. The aim of this study was to (i) examine if chronic pain, disability benefits and education in parents influence the risk of long-term sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorders in young adulthood, and (ii) to explore if offspring sleep problems and physical activity modify these effects.MethodsA population-based prospective study of 18,552 adolescents and young adults (≤ 30 years) in the Norwegian HUNT Study. Survey data was linked to national registry data on sick leave, disability benefits, family relations and educational attainment. We used Cox regression to estimate hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for long-term (≥ 31 days) sick leave due to a musculoskeletal disorder in offspring associated with parental factors and the joint effect of parental factors and offspring lifestyle factors.ResultsParental chronic pain (HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.27–1.45), disability benefits (HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.33–1.48) and low educational attainment (HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.67–1.90) increased the risk of long-term sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorders among offspring. There was no strong evidence that sleep and physical activity modified these effects.ConclusionChronic pain, disability benefit and low education in parents increased the risk of long-term sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorders among offspring, but these effects were not modified by offspring sleep problems or physical activity level. The findings suggest that efforts beyond individual lifestyle factors might be important as preventive measures.

Furthermore, when considered together, pay later usage, lifestyle, and parental income demonstrate a positive and significant effect on financial management behavior.

Parental Mental Health, Gender, and Lifestyle Effects on Post-Pandemic Child and Adolescent Psychosocial Problems: A Cross-Sectional Survey in Northern Italy.

The exacerbation of psychosocial problems among children and adolescents during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic necessitates an assessment of the long-term mental health impact of pandemic interventions. Focusing on both pandemic-related factors and demographic variables, such as gender and daily habits, an analysis was conducted to understand how these elements continue to affect young populations in the post-pandemic era. In April 2023, a comprehensive online survey was administered to families in South Tyrol, Italy, with children aged 7-19 years, to ensure age and gender representation. The survey included parent ratings and adolescent (11-19 years) self-reports using standardized instruments to measure the symptoms of mental health problems (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, SDQ), anxiety (Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders, SCARED), and depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-2, PHQ-2). Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and unadjusted odds ratios (ORs). Of the 4525 valid responses, 1831 were self-reported by adolescents. Notable gender differences in mental health outcomes were identified, along with significant demographic predictors, such as age, single parenthood, parental mental health problems, and immigrant background. Negative effects were associated with reduced family climate and increased screen time, whereas physical activity showed beneficial effects. Proxy reports overestimated adolescents' mental health problems, whereas self-reports tended to underestimate them. Persistent mental health problems and gender disparities highlight the need for a public health approach. This should include accessible support services, resilience building, targeted support for vulnerable families and gender-specific interventions.

Functional Constipation: Pathophysiology, evaluation, and management.

Functional constipation (FC), a disorder of the gut-brain interaction of multifactorial pathophysiology that is prevalent in paediatrics. It is associated with bothersome symptoms, increased healthcare costs, disgruntled caregivers and impaired health-related quality of life. Paediatric FC is a clinical diagnosis based on the Rome IV criteria and is characterised by decreased bowel movement frequency and/or hard, painful stools and can be complicated by retentive faecal incontinence. Stressful life events, difficult temperaments and emotional and behavioural challenges have been implicated in increasing risk of developing paediatric FC. To provide current concepts in pathophysiology, evaluation and management of paediatric FC. We reviewed pertinent literature after a comprehensive search utilising PubMed with keywords FC, chronic childhood constipation and paediatric FC. In the last decade, advances in our understanding of paediatric FC have changed the landscape of diagnosing and treating this disorder. Although polyethylene glycol is the first-line treatment for maintenance of FC, the armamentarium of therapeutics has expanded including the first Food and Drug Administration- agent, linaclotide, for children 6-17 years of age in conjunction with more emphasis on behavioural and physical therapy interventions. Treatment approach to paediatric FC should be individualised and integrated focusing on parental education, lifestyle and behavioural modifications, and pharmacological therapy to maximise therapeutic success. This review highlights advances in pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of FC in children.

Parenting Consensual Non-Monogamists’ Perceptions of Parenthood, Intimacy, and Communication

This article presents partial results of a larger mixed methods study about consensual non-monogamists’ perceptions of their parenting and sexual lifestyle, particularly those involving the transition to parenthood, intimacy and communication. Using The Expanding the Movement for Empowerment and Reproductive Justice lens, six participants completed an online questionnaire and a semi-structured interview guide. Consensual non-monogamists are like other parents, yet they prioritise sexual intimacy over emotional intimacy. Communication is very important for them. The quantitative results support the qualitative ones: the participants had a higher level of parenting sense of competence, and the means for emotional and sexual intimacy were lower for primary partners than for secondary ones. Perinatal health care professionals including nurses need to know more about parenting consensual non-monogamists and their partner(s). More research is warranted with this particular group of parents, especially on their experiences of minority stress, resilience and taking a more intersectional research approach.

Intentions to Use Cannabis Postpartum: A Qualitative Study of Pregnant Individuals Who Used Cannabis During Early Pregnancy.

Objective: To examine plans for postpartum cannabis use among pregnant individuals who used cannabis during early pregnancy. Materials and Methods: Eighteen virtual focus groups were conducted from November 17, 2021, to December 17, 2021, with 23 Black and 30 White pregnant adults in Kaiser Permanente Northern California, who self-reported prenatal cannabis use during early pregnancy. Focus groups were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The sample (N = 53) had a mean age of 30.3 years (standard deviation = 5.2) at recruitment; 70% reported daily, 25% weekly, and 6% ≤ monthly cannabis use at entrance to prenatal care. Some participants viewed cannabis as critical for coping with postpartum mental and physical health challenges, while others questioned whether cannabis use would fit with their parental lifestyle, and some planned to abstain altogether. Most planned to use cannabis postpartum, but with lower frequency than before pregnancy, and in ways consistent with harm reduction (e.g., smoking outside to avoid secondhand or thirdhand smoke exposure). Many were motivated to abstain from cannabis while breastfeeding, and some desired more data on the safety of cannabis and breastfeeding, or intended to "pump and dump," believing it would reduce potential transfer of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to their infant. Responses from Black and White participants were generally similar, but White participants were more likely to report plans to use cannabis while breastfeeding and to want information about cannabis and breastfeeding. Conclusions: Pregnant individuals with prenatal cannabis use had varied plans for cannabis use postpartum. Many were motivated to abstain or use cannabis less frequently than pre-pregnancy, especially during lactation.

Parental adherence to healthy lifestyles in relation to the risk of obesity in offspring: A prospective cohort study in China.

While maternal adherence to a healthy lifestyle was shown to be associated with a lower risk of obesity in offspring, the potential role of overall parental lifestyles has not yet been explored. We aimed to address this gap by exploring whether parental adherence to an overall healthy lifestyle was associated with a lower risk of obesity in offspring. We included 5881 children and adolescents aged 6-15 years at enrolment in the 2010, 2012, and 2014 waves of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) who were free of obesity and followed them until 2020. Parental healthy lifestyle score at study baseline was composed of five modifiable lifestyle factors (0-5; 1 for each): never smoking, non-habitual drinking, weekly exercise, modified dietary diversity score ≥5 points, and body mass index (BMI) of 18.5-23.9 kg/m2. We defined obesity according to the age- and gender-specific cutoffs by the BMI percentile curves for Chinese children aged 6-18 years. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to examine the association between parental healthy lifestyle score (both as continuous and categorical variables) and risk of offspring obesity. Overall, 597 (10.2%) offspring developed obesity during a median follow-up of 6 years. Compared to the lowest tertile of parental healthy lifestyle score, participants in the highest tertile had a 42% (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.58; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.45-0.74) lower risk of obesity. Both maternal (HR = 0.75; 95% CI = 0.61-0.92) and paternal (HR = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.60-0.89) healthy lifestyle scores were associated with lower risks of obesity in offspring. For specific lifestyle factors, we observed beneficial associations for paternal diverse diet (HR = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.60-0.88) and healthy BMI (HR = 0.65; 95% CI = 0.55-0.78). Adherence to an overall parental healthier lifestyle was associated with a lower risk of obesity in childhood and adolescence. This finding highlights the potential benefits of promoting a healthy lifestyle among parents for the primary prevention of offspring obesity.

Stress-induced disorders of reproductive functions

The review provides a pathophysiological analysis of what is currently known about the impact of acute and chronic stress on the functional state of the male and female reproductive systems. The relevance of research on the negative effects of stress on the reproductive system has increased significantly in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and even more so after Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Stress disrupts gamete maturation, libido, sexual behavior, mating, fertilization, pregnancy and delivery. In the structure of the etiology of these disorders, psycho-social stress prevails. The characteristics of stress-induced disorders of the reproductive system have features depending on the lifestyle of future parents, as well as on the period of life, starting from the embryonic to the end of the reproductive age. The hypothalamicpituitary-adrenocortical and hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal systems, as well as oxidative-nitrosative stress, play a leading role in the pathogenesis of stress-induced disorders of the reproductive system. Modern data on the pathogenesis of stress-induced reproductive disorders should be the basis of preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Associations between parental adherence to healthy lifestyles and cognitive performance in offspring: A prospective cohort study in China.

Previous studies have reported associations of specific maternal and paternal lifestyle factors with offspring's cognitive development during early childhood. This study aimed to investigate the prospective associations between overall parental lifestyle and offspring's cognitive performance during adolescence and young adulthood in China. We included 2531 adolescents aged 10-15 years at baseline in 2010 from the China Family Panel Studies. A healthy parental lifestyle score (ranged 0-5) was constructed based on the following five modifiable lifestyle factors: Smoking, drinking, exercise, sleep, and diet. Generalized estimating equation models were used to examine the association between baseline parental healthy lifestyle scores and offspring's fluid and crystallized intelligence in subsequent years (2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018). Offspring in the top tertile of parental healthy lifestyle scores performed better in overall fluid intelligence (multivariable-adjusted β = 0.53, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.29-0.77) and overall crystallized intelligence (multivariable-adjusted β = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.16-0.54) than those in the bottom tertile of parental healthy lifestyle scores. The results were similar after further adjustment for the offspring's healthy lifestyle scores and persisted across the subgroups of parental socioeconomic status. Additionally, maternal and paternal healthy lifestyle scores were independently associated with better offspring's cognitive performance, with significant contribution observed for paternal never-smoking, weekly exercise, and diversified diet. When both parents and offspring adhered to a healthier lifestyle, we observed the highest level of the offspring's overall crystallized intelligence. Our study indicates that parental adherence to a healthier lifestyle is associated with significantly better offspring's cognitive performance during adolescence and early adulthood, regardless of socioeconomic status. These findings highlight the potential cognitive benefits of promoting healthy lifestyles among parents of adolescents.

The Role of Self-Regulation in Childrens Eating Behavior

Considering food, many people are particularly interested. Food can satisfy hunger and make some foods highly creative. People have an appetite, and more advertisements about food are attractive. Some people want to eat something delicious to celebrate when they are happy, and some people eat to relieve when they feel sad or depressed. There are many delicious foods for people to choose from, however, these food might not be good for children. This paper presents the concept of self-regulation and how self-regulation plays a role in childrens dietary behaviors. The purpose is to find out what impacts childrens healthy eating habits from an early age. A healthy diet has different effects on children from childhood to later stages. If eating healthily is the basis, it can make child have a good and stable mood as well. In addition, childrens self-regulation in dietary behaviors can be influenced by factors of the environment, e.g., the impact of family or parental lifestyles. When a family is well-educated and parents create a harmonious atmosphere, the childs daily diet and behavior habits are positive, which also lays the foundation for the future. On the contrary, if children live under malnutrition, it will affect their living habits in youth and adulthood. Finally, there are the external factors that come into playing a role. Moreover, another restriction should also be considered. Children should have a balanced diet every day. Snacks can be added between meals, but they will not be used as the main meal. This review can provide some insights for healthy diet related programs at schools and communities.

Socioecological correlates of parental lifestyle patterns during the prenatal period

Abstract Background There is growing evidence that family lifestyle patterns in early life are associated with the risk of child obesity. However, beyond the influence of socio-economic position, scarce are studies on the social determinants of such lifestyle patterns. The aim was therefore to investigate the socio-ecological correlates of parental lifestyle patterns in pregnancy. Methods We selected 1,110 families from the EDEN birth cohort, recruited in two maternity hospitals in France between 2003 and 2006. In a previous work, we identified two parental lifestyle patterns characterized by 1) “high parental smoking, low maternal diet quality, and low leisure physical activity 2) “low parental body mass index and high gestational weight gain”. Within the framework of both socio-ecological and hierarchical approaches, we conducted multivariable linear regression analyses, with socio-ecological factors added progressively from the most distal to the most proximal, i.e. urban environment variables (block 1); socio-economics, geographic origin, parents’ age, parity (block 2); and psychological factors or access to health care (block 3). Results Parents with a higher socio-economic position (education level, household income), first-time or older mothers and those having attended antenatal sessions had lower scores on the first pattern. Multiparous women, with an intermediate level of education, and older fathers had lower scores on the second pattern. No major associations were reported with urban environment or psychological factors. Conclusions Beyond the expected socio-economic gradient of family lifestyle patterns, we report novel insights into potential levers specific to the prenatal period, such as the opportunity of parenting preparation to engage in healthy behaviours. Analyses will be replicated in three other European cohorts, if confirmed, these findings will be valuable to increase the effectiveness of future childhood obesity prevention strategies in early life. Key messages • Higher socio-economic conditions and attendance of parenting preparation classes are associated with healthier family lifestyle in pregnancy. • The identification of potential facilitators and barriers for family lifestyle in early life will help for further translation to effective childhood obesity prevention and implementation strategies.

Parental practices and children's lifestyle correlates of childhood overweight/obesity in Europe: The Feel4Diabetes study.

Parental influences on children's eating and physical activity (PA) and consequently on their weight are fundamental. The present study aimed to identify the predominant correlates of childhood overweight/obesity among a variety of parental practices and children's lifestyle indices in a large sample of children in Europe. Families from low socio-economic status regions were recruited through schools, located in six European countries (Belgium, Finland, Greece, Spain, Bulgaria and Hungary). Seven thousand three hundred ninety-seven children 4-12 years old and their parents were selected using the FINDRISC-questionnaire. Parental practices assessed included parental role modelling, permissiveness and reward. Children's dietary intake and lifestyle behaviours were assessed through parent-reported questionnaires. Regarding parental practices, it was revealed that being sometimes (odds ratio [OR] = 1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.10-1.43) or rarely (OR = 1.43; 95% CI = 1.21-1.69) physically active with the child was associated with greater overweight/obesity risk, whereas rare permission of computer/mobile/tablet (OR = 0.81; 95% CI = 0.67-0.98) and sometimes (OR = 0.77; 95% CI = 0.68-0.88) or rare (OR = 0.77; 95% CI = 0.66-0.91) reward with PA were associated with lower risk. Regarding children's lifestyle factors, consuming > 3 cups/week fresh fruit juices (OR = 1.28; 95% CI = 1.13-1.45), skipping breakfast (OR = 1.37; 95% CI = 1.17-1.61), absence of 1 h of daily PA (OR = 1.40; 95% CI = 1.24-1.58) and increased daily screen time (ST) (OR = 1.23; 95% CI = 1.09-1.39) were associated with greater overweight/obesity risk. All the variables were adjusted for maternal education, child's sex and age. These findings emphasize the necessity of family-centered approaches in health promotion and obesity prevention programs for children. Such programs should focus on parents as the primary role models in exerting positive influence and encouraging healthy eating habits, PA, and ST behaviors in their children, which in turn, may have a substantial impact on children's overall weight status.

Molecular genetic traits and risk factors for neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood, accounting for 815% of all malignant neoplasms in children. The uniqueness of the neuroblastoma etiology and pathogenesis creates significant difficulties for doctors due to the unpredictability of the course of the disease: the tumor can regress and lead to death in a short time, showing significant immunity to ongoing therapy. Early diagnosis of a tumor is necessary to understand the risk factors, the etiology, the mechanisms of neuroblastoma occurrence and further development. To date, a number of different risk factors have been identified, related both to genetic aspects and to aspects related to the course of pregnancy, birth and lifestyle of the childs parents. The list of these risk factors is still incomplete and research to identify new factors continues to this day. Morphological and molecular genetic diagnostics play an important role in this. Undifferentiated and low-differentiated variants of neuroblastoma are often associated with MYCN amplification and other chromosomal aberrations determined by molecular genetic research. Chromosomal instability plays an important role in the process of early tumor development, which probably causes the possibility of acquiring certain genetic changes, which also determines the prognosis and further therapeutic options. In this article, we have identified the most significant risk factors by comparing the results of various studies.
