■虽然怀孕期间使用咖啡因很常见,其与儿童行为和身体健康结果的纵向关联仍然知之甚少。这里,我们估计了产前咖啡因暴露之间的关联,体重指数(BMI),以及儿童进入青春期的行为。
■纵向数据和照顾者报告的产前咖啡因暴露来自正在进行的青少年大脑和认知发育(ABCD)SM研究,从2016年6月1日开始,该组织从美国21个地点招募了11,875名9-11岁的基线儿童。将产前咖啡因暴露作为4级分类变量进行分析,并使用进一步的组对比来表征“任何暴露”和“每日暴露”组。结果包括儿童的精神病理学特征,睡眠问题,BMI。潜在的混杂协变量包括家族性(例如,收入,家族性精神病理学),怀孕(例如,产前物质暴露),和孩子(例如,咖啡因使用)变量。
■在10,873名儿童中(5,686名男孩[52.3%];平均[SD]年龄,9.9[0.6]年),具有非缺失的产前咖啡因暴露数据,6,560(60%)在产前暴露于咖啡因。相对于没有暴露,每日咖啡因暴露与较高的儿童BMI相关(β=0.08;FDR校正p=0.02),但与儿童行为无关。那些每天暴露于两杯或更多杯咖啡因的人(n=1,028)比那些暴露于较低/不暴露的人有更大的睡眠问题(β>0.92;FDR校正p<0.04)。
■每日产前咖啡因暴露与儿童BMI升高有关,每天多次使用时,即使考虑到潜在的困惑,睡眠问题也会更严重。这种关系是否是产前咖啡因暴露或其相关因素的结果仍然未知。
UNASSIGNED: Though caffeine use during pregnancy is common, its longitudinal associations with child behavioral and physical health outcomes remain poorly understood. Here, we estimated associations between prenatal caffeine exposure, body mass index (BMI), and behavior as children enter adolescence.
UNASSIGNED: Longitudinal data and caregiver-reported prenatal caffeine exposure were obtained from the ongoing Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) SM
Study, which recruited 11,875 children aged 9-11 years at baseline from 21 sites across the United States starting June 1, 2016. Prenatal caffeine exposure was analyzed as a 4-level categorical variable, and further group contrasts were used to characterize \"any exposure\" and \"daily exposure\" groups. Outcomes included
psychopathology characteristics in children, sleep problems, and BMI. Potentially confounding covariates included familial (e.g., income, familial
psychopathology), pregnancy (e.g., prenatal substance exposure), and child (e.g., caffeine use) variables.
UNASSIGNED: Among 10,873 children (5,686 boys [52.3%]; mean [SD] age, 9.9 [0.6] years) with nonmissing prenatal caffeine exposure data, 6,560 (60%) were exposed to caffeine prenatally. Relative to no exposure, daily caffeine exposure was associated with higher child BMI (β=0.08; FDR-corrected p=0.02), but was not associated with child behavior. Those exposed to two or more cups of caffeine daily (n=1,028) had greater sleep problems than those with lower/no exposure (β>0.92; FDR-corrected p<0.04).
UNASSIGNED: Daily prenatal caffeine exposure is associated with heightened childhood BMI, and when used multiple times a day greater sleep problems even after accounting for potential confounds. Whether this relationship is a consequence of prenatal caffeine exposure or its correlated factors remains unknown.
