Reduced global hippocampus volumes have been demonstrated in premature‐born individuals, from newborns to adults; however, it is unknown whether hippocampus subfield (HCSF) volumes are differentially affected by premature birth and how relevant they are for cognitive performance.
…Bullying victimization is associated with adverse mental health consequences, while bullies suffer few or no adverse consequences in Western societies. Yet the universality of these consequences across western and eastern cultures is unknown.
…Background: There is increasing evidence that sibling bullying is associated with various social, emotional, and mental health difficulties. It is, however, unclear which factors predict sibling bullying in middle childhood and whether child-level individual differences make some children more susceptible to sibling bullying involvement.
…Background/Objectives: Maternal pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and gestational diabetes (GDM) areassociated with increased fat deposition in adult offspring. The purpose of this study was to identify if maternal pre-pregnancy overweight (body mass index (BMI)≥25 kg/m2) or GDM are associated with dietary quality or intake inadult offspring.
…· People born small for gestational age (SGA) have a lower IQ throughout development from infancy to adulthood · The effects of SGA tend to reduce by adulthood · Low socioeconomic status and poor parent-infant relationship further adversely affect cognitive development · Early interventions for SGA beyond catch-up growth such as improving parent-child relationship may…
Survival of very preterm (VPT) infants (ie, those born at <32 weeks’ gestation) has improved markedly over recent decades, raising concerns about levels of impairment among survivors.
…Objective – To determine whether cognitive performance from infancy to adulthood is affected by being born SGA, and if this depends on the SGA reference used. Furthermore, to determine SGA’s effect while considering the effects of very preterm/very low birth weight (VP/VLBW), socioeconomic status (SES), and parent‐infant relationship.
…Very preterm (VP; <32 weeks gestation) and/or very low birth weight (VLBW; <1500 g) birth has been associated with an increased risk of adverse motor and cognitive outcomes that may persist into adulthood.
