New research from Children of the 90s indicates that the rate at which blood pressure changes during pregnancy is different for women with normal pregnancies and those who develop blood pressure problems.
High levels of vitamin D do not seem to affect teenagers’ academic performance, according to new research from Children of the 90s.
New research from Children of the 90s shows that mothers who drank alcohol and coffee, smoked and had a coal fire in their home during pregnancy were likely to have higher levels of lead in their blood than women who didn’t. Dietary calcium and iron seemed to have a protective effect.
Children with behavioural problems may be at risk of many chronic diseases in adulthood including heart disease and diabetes, illnesses that result in part from chronic inflammation.
Marks on the genetic ‘code’ that babies have at birth are different for children who go on to be obese or overweight compared to those who do not, new research from Children of the 90s and Newcastle University has found.
A study of more than 11,000 women in Children of the 90s shows that those who owned dogs when pregnant were approximately 50 per cent more likely than those who didn’t to achieve the recommended 30 minutes of exercise a day through high levels of brisk walking.
Children who display hyperactivity, inattention and conduct problems at the age of three are at risk of worse academic outcomes at age 16, according to new research that uses data from Children of the 90s and which is published today in the British Journal of Psychiatry.
New research from Children of the 90s shows that the weight gain of infants given cow’s milk as a main drink in place of breast or formula milk before 12 months of age may be greater than that of breastfed infants.
A new study out today from Children of the 90s shows that children as young as seven had elevated levels of cotinine (a by-product of nicotine) in their blood if their mother smoked, particularly children whose mothers smoked 10 cigarettes a day or more.
New research from Children of the 90s, shows that the link between low levels of vitamin D and depression is established in childhood and that ensuring children have a good intake of vitamin D could help reduce depression in adolescence and adulthood. The link between depression and vitamin D (which we get from exposure to sunlight and from certain foods, like oily fish and fortified breakfast cereals) has already been established in adults but this is the first study to look at the vitamin’s effect in children.
