“…Participants were enrolled in the Conditions Affecting Neurocognitive Development in Early Childhood (CANDLE) study, a prospective prenatal cohort in Memphis, Tennessee. Briefly, 1503 healthy women, 16‐40 years of age, with a singleton pregnancy, and intent to deliver at a study hospital were enrolled during 16‐28 weeks estimated gestational age (EGA) from community‐based obstetric practices between 2006 and 2011 . The CANDLE study included 2nd and 3rd trimester and delivery visits during which we obtained demographics, psychosocial and medical histories, and biospecimens.…”

“…Because there was 12% missing data on maternal report of breastfeeding, we conducted sensitivity analysis on the subset that included breastfeeding (yes/no) as a potential covariate. For the subset that completed a 2nd trimester food‐frequency questionnaire (FFQ), intake of other nutrients important for DNA methylation (vitamin B 6 , B 12 , choline, methionine, and betaine) was estimated and was tested as potential confounders in multivariable models using a 10% change in estimate criteria.…”

Background Prenatal folic acid supplementation is recommended to prevent birth defects. Some foods are fortified in the U.S. to ensure sufficient intake among reproductive-aged women. However, high prenatal folate exposure may be a risk factor for childhood atopic diseases. We investigated associations between prenatal folate and early childhood wheeze and atopic dermatitis in a U.S. cohort. Methods We studied 858 mother-child dyads, enrolled prenatally. Folate was measured in 2nd and 3rd trimester maternal plasma. Parents reported current wheeze (previous 12 months) and healthcare provider diagnosis of atopic dermatitis at 3 years. We examined associations using logistic regression, modeling folate continuously and dichotomously (< or ≥20 ng/ml), a level often considered supraphysiologic. Results Over half of women were African-American and on Medicaid. Median (interquartile range) folate levels were 22.6 (15.9–30.0) and 23.1 (16.1–30.0) ng/mL for 2nd and 3rd trimesters, respectively. Current wheeze and atopic dermatitis were reported for 20.4% and 26.8% of children, respectively. Second trimester folate as a continuous exposure was not significantly associated with outcomes. Decreased odds of current wheeze was observed in children born to mothers who had 2nd trimester folate ≥ 20 ng/mL (adjusted odds ratios = 0.67, 95% confidence interval = 0.46, 0.97) compared to children with maternal levels < 20 ng/mL. Third trimester folate was not associated with outcomes. Conclusions High plasma folate in mid-pregnancy was associated with decreased odds of current wheeze at age 3. Our findings do not support harmful effects of high prenatal folate levels on childhood atopic diseases in this setting.

Introduction: Nutritional adequacy is essential in ensuring the normal growth and development of the fetus. Perceived benefits will be able to strengthen pregnant women to meet optimum nutritional intake to prevent anemia. Adequacy of protein, vitamin C and iron will reduce the risk of iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy. This study aims to examine the association between perceived benefits with protein, vitamin C, and iron intake in preventing pregnancy anemia.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted in August-October 2017 among105 pregnant women. This study used the multistage random sampling method. The population of this study was pregnant women who had antenatal care in four Community Health Centre in Surabaya namely Jagir, MedokanAyu, SidotopoWetan, and Gundih. Results: The average daily protein intake was 76.34 (SD = 35.88) gram/day. There was a significant association between perceived benefits with protein intake (r = 0.272; p = 0.005). The average daily vitamin C intake was 90.67 (SD = 116.54) mg/day. There was no significant association between perceived benefits and vitamin C intake (r = 0.175; p = 0.074). The average daily iron intake was 64.73 (SD = 23.13) mg/day. There was a significant association between perceived benefits and iron intake (r = 0.219; p = 0.025).Conclusion: The knowledge of pregnant women about the benefits of nutrition will affect the adequacy of pregnancy nutrition. Health workers need to provide health education on the importance of nutrition for pregnant women to prevent anemia during pregnancy.

The effect of the mother-child relationship on long-term child development has received research attention for decades. Because the quality and quantity of mother-infant interactions have been established as important predictors of the child's development, early identification of areas in the relationship requiring support and intervention is essential for promoting positive child outcomes. The Nursing Child Assessment Teaching Scale (NCAT) is an instrument long used to quantify the quality of interaction in the mother-child relationship during the first 36 months of a child's life. While the NCAT has been shown to be a reliable and valid instrument, limited evidence exists of the theoretical congruence between the Barnard Model it is based on and the NCAT scale. The psychometric properties of the NCAT scale and subscales were examined using item response theory in relation to characteristics of interactions in the Barnard Model using data collected during a clinic visit at 12 months of infant age in a sample of mothers and children (N = 1,121 dyads) from a community-based sample in Shelby County, TN. In this secondary analysis, descriptive statistics, reliabilities, and factor loadings for the NCAT were obtained using confirmatory factor analysis and augmented to form multiple indicators, multiple causes models, linking demographic predictors of the mothers and children to the NCAT subscales. Results supported scale abbreviation and theoretical congruence with the Barnard Model, which may provide researchers and practitioners with a more concise, reliable way of measuring maternal-child interaction in community settings.
