“…Given few studies of childhood neurodevelopment had paternal BMI information, 12,13,15,19 and none being from the United States, our objective was to evaluate associations between parental obesity and early childhood development up to 3 years of age. We accounted for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors and examined associations with GWG.…”

“…Each new motor skill is acquired in a specific order that is dependent on that which has been developed earlier; for example, first a child learns to support his or her body weight, then that child will begin to stand and later walk. It's very important to learn all the movements from the beginning; it is the basis for all other, more complex movements [1,2].…”

Abstract. The aim of the research is to observe whether specific developmental disorder of motor function (SDDMF) in infancy affects 6-7 years old children's balance and to find out does physiotherapy (PT) is beneficial for enhancing and maintaining this feature. The study involved 97 right-hand 6-7 years old children. Participants were divided into two groups: study and control group. In the study group, there were children who had SDDMF in infancy being 4-11 months old and participated in a PT program in infancy. Control group participants didn't have SDDMF and PT in infancy. The balance was assessed using a computerized balance platform. The study group had 16 physiotherapy procedures. A data analysis showed significant differences of participants' balance characteristics in frontal and sagittal planes: comparing study and control group results before PT in open eyes with feedback performance. There was a significant difference of balance between the study group before and after a PT with the control group when participants performed tasks with open eyes without a feedback. SDDMF in infancy affects 6-7 years old children's balance and PT is beneficial for enhancing and maintaining these features for 6-7 years old children.

Maternal gestational obesity is related to risk of obesity in the child. This risk may be in part mediated by altered child temperament, which can affect mother–child interactions, including feeding and soothing behaviors that affect obesity risk. Our objective was to examine the association between maternal pre‐pregnancy BMI and child zBMI and determine if child temperament, specifically positive Affectivity/Surgency, mediates this association. Using conditional process modeling, we analyzed data from 408 mother–child dyads enrolled in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) study. Child temperament was assessed at 3 years of age via a parent report measure, the Child Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ), and child zBMI was calculated from in‐person measurements of child height and weight at 4–5 years of age. Bivariate correlations showed that there was a significant positive correlation between zBMI and Surgency (r = 0.11, p = 0.03), and zBMI was also correlated with maternal pre‐pregnancy BMI (r = 0.12, p = 0.02). Multivariable regression revealed that maternal pre‐pregnancy BMI (adjusted β = 0.15, 95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.00–0.05, p = 0.02) and Surgency scores (adjusted β = 0.14, 95% CI; 0.02–0.28, p = 0.03) were associated with higher child zBMI at 4–5 years of age. Mediation analysis showed that Surgency mediated the association between pre‐pregnancy BMI and child zBMI. Our models controlled for maternal gestational weight gain, gestational diabetes, socioeconomic status, maternal anxiety and depression, and gestational age at birth. Overall, maternal pre‐pregnancy BMI was positively associated with child zBMI, and this association was mediated by higher child Surgency scores.
