“…The search strategy identified 9439 articles, from which 13 articles were included in the final synthesis (Fig 2). From the included articles, six (46%) explored the association between maternal mental health and child's physical health [47][48][49][50][51], two (15%) explored maternal and child's physical health [9,52], one (8%) explored maternal and child's mental health [53], one (8%) explored maternal physical health and child's HRQoL [54], and three articles (23%) explored maternal mental health and child's health service use [55][56][57].…”

“…Studies have generally investigated an association between particular health conditions (disease-specific) or the overall health of mothers and children. All articles included cohort studies that explored the data from primary studies [48-51, 53, 58], clinic/ hospital databases [47,52,54,55,57,59], national surveys or registries [9,56]. The data collection periods ranged from 2000 to 2019, and study participants were from Australia [9], the UK [55], the USA [49,57], Canada [47,52,59], Germany [48], Denmark [56], the Netherlands [54], Finland [50,53] and Italy [51].…”

Introduction The first five years of life is an important developmental period that establishes the foundation for future health and well-being. Mothers play a primary role in providing emotional and physical nourishment during early childhood. This systematic review aims to explore the association between maternal health and child health in the first five years of the child’s life. Materials and methods As primary aims, we systematically synthesised published evidence relating to the first five years of life for associations between maternal health exposures (mental, physical and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and child health outcomes (physical health, mental health, HRQoL and Health Service Use (HSU) /cost). As a secondary aim, we explored how the above associations vary between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged populations. The search was limited to studies that published and collected data from 2010 to 2022. The systematic review was specific to countries with similar health systems to Australia. The search was conducted in MEDLINE, CINAHL, APA PsycINFO, GLOBAL HEALTH, and EMBASE databases. The quality of the included studies was assessed by The Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) tool. Results Thirteen articles were included in the final synthesis from the identified 9439 articles in the primary search. Six (46%) explored the association between maternal mental health and child’s physical health, two (15%) explored maternal and child’s physical health, one (8%) explored maternal and child’s mental health, one (8%) explored maternal physical health and child’s HRQoL, and three (23%) explored maternal mental health and child’s HSU. We found an association between maternal health and child health (physical and mental) and HSU outcomes but no association between maternal health and child’s overall HRQoL. The results for disadvantaged communities did not show any difference from the general population. Discussion and conclusion Our review findings show that maternal health influences the child’s health in the first five years. However, the current evidence is limited, and the findings were primarily related to a specific maternal or child’s health condition. There was no evidence of associations of child health outcomes in healthy mothers. There is an extensive research gap investigating maternal health exposures and child outcomes in quality of life and overall health.

“…It is also possible that MDD may be linked to LRI through shared risk or vulnerability factors, such as substance abuse, socioeconomic disadvantage, comorbid medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus, or exposure to environmental pollutants [ 134 , 135 , 136 ]. Sometimes the association is more complex and can even span generations; for example, maternal depression has been associated with an increased risk of LRI in children [ 137 ].…”

Mood disorders are among the commonest mental disorders worldwide. Epidemiological and clinical evidence suggests that there are close links between infectious diseases and mood disorders, but the strength and direction of these association remain largely unknown. Theoretical models have attempted to explain this link based on evolutionary or immune-related factors, but these have not been empirically verified. The current study examined cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between the incidence of infectious diseases and mood disorders, while correcting for climate and economic factors, based on data from the Global Burden of Disease Studies, 1990–2019. It was found that major depressive disorder was positively associated with lower respiratory infections, while bipolar disorder was positively associated with upper respiratory infections and negatively associated with enteric and tropical infections, both cross-sectionally and over a period of 30 years. These results suggest that a complex, bidirectional relationship exists between these disorders. This relationship may be mediated through the immune system as well as through the gut–brain and lung–brain axes. Understanding the mechanisms that link these groups of disorders could lead to advances in the prevention and treatment of both.

“…The relationship between suicide attempt and child morbidity may be mediated by maternal mental illness, a known risk factor for adverse child outcomes (Auger et al, 2020 , 2021 ; Giallo et al, 2015 ; Nevriana et al, 2020 ; O'Donnell et al, 2015 ). Previous longitudinal studies have shown that maternal mental disorders are associated with pediatric infections (Auger et al, 2021 ), dental caries (Auger et al, 2020 ), and injuries (Nevriana et al, 2020 ). Australian cohorts have linked maternal mental disorders with more than 2 times the risk of child asthma (Giallo et al, 2015 ) and maltreatment (O'Donnell et al, 2015 ).…”

“…In this study, children whose mothers attempted suicide were at the greatest risk of hospitalization between birth and 10 years of age. Studies have shown that maternal mental illness is also associated with a greater risk of morbidity before 10 years, including dental caries (Auger et al, 2020 ) and pediatric infectious disease hospitalization (Auger et al, 2021 ). The findings highlight the potential for maternal mental illness to impede a mother's ability to care for young children, especially if there is a history of suicidal behavior.…”

Background Maternal suicide attempts are associated with adverse psychosocial outcomes in children, but the association with chronic morbidity is poorly understood. We examined the relationship between maternal suicide attempt and risk of hospitalization for potentially preventable conditions in offspring. Methods We analyzed a longitudinal cohort of 1 032 210 children born in Quebec, Canada between 2006 and 2019. The main exposure measure was maternal suicide attempt before or during pregnancy. Outcomes included child hospitalizations for potentially preventable conditions, including infectious diseases, dental caries, atopy, and injury up to 14 years after birth. We used adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association of maternal suicide attempt with risk of hospitalization for these outcomes. Results Compared with no suicide attempt, children whose mothers attempted suicide had an increased risk of hospitalization for infectious diseases (HR 1.11, 95% CI 1.06–1.16), dental caries (HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.15–1.48), and injury (HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.03–1.31). Risk of hospitalization for any of these outcomes was greater if mothers attempted suicide by hanging (HR 1.46, 95% CI 1.22–1.75), had their first attempt between the age of 25 and 34 years (HR 1.27, 95% CI 1.13–1.42), and had 3 or more attempts (HR 1.56, 95% CI 1.27–1.91). Maternal suicide attempts were more strongly associated with child hospitalization before 10 years of age. Conclusions Children whose mothers have a history of suicide attempt have an elevated risk of hospitalization for potentially preventable conditions.
