| Popis: | BackgroundThe life course perspective suggests a pathway may exist among maternal exposure to stressful life events prior to conception (PSLEs), infant birth weight and subsequent offspring health, whereby PSLEs are part of a 'chains-of-risk' that set children on a certain health pathway. No prior study has examined the link between PSLEs and offspring health in a nationally representative sample of US mothers and their children. We used longitudinal, nationally representative data to evaluate the relation between maternal exposure to PSLEs and subsequent measures of infant and toddler health, taking both maternal and obstetric characteristics into account.MethodsWe examined 6900 mother-child dyads participating in 2 waves of the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (n=6900). Infant and toddler health outcomes assessed at 9 and 24 months included overall health status, special healthcare needs and severe health conditions. Adjusted path analyses examined associations between PSLEs, birth weight and child health outcomes.ResultsIn adjusted analyses, PSLEs increased the risk for very low birth weight (VLBW |
