“…Other limitations include the measurement of prenatal exposure by retrospective self-report. Work comparing prospectively and retrospectively collected data about pregnancy has supported the accuracy of pregnancy data collected by retrospective self-report (Buka et al, 2004;Jacobson et al, 1991). Similarly, comparison of serum cotinine concentrations and self-reported smoking behavior during pregnancy has yielded evidence of significant agreement between these measures (Buka et al, 2003).…”

Prenatal exposure to active maternal tobacco smoking elevates risk of cognitive and auditory processing deficits, and of smoking in offspring. Recent preclinical work has demonstrated a sex-specific pattern of reduction in cortical cholinergic markers following prenatal, adolescent, or combined prenatal and adolescent exposure to nicotine, the primary psychoactive component of tobacco smoke. Given the importance of cortical cholinergic neurotransmission to attentional function, we examined auditory and visual selective and divided attention in 181 male and female adolescent smokers and nonsmokers with and without prenatal exposure to maternal smoking. Groups did not differ in age, educational attainment, symptoms of inattention, or years of parent education. A subset of 63 subjects also underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging while performing an auditory and visual selective and divided attention task. Among females, exposure to tobacco smoke during prenatal or adolescent development was associated with reductions in auditory and visual attention performance accuracy that were greatest in female smokers with prenatal exposure (combined exposure). Among males, combined exposure was associated with marked deficits in auditory attention, suggesting greater vulnerability of neurocircuitry supporting auditory attention to insult stemming from developmental exposure to tobacco smoke in males. Activation of brain regions that support auditory attention was greater in adolescents with prenatal or adolescent exposure to tobacco smoke relative to adolescents with neither prenatal nor adolescent exposure to tobacco smoke. These findings extend earlier preclinical work and suggest that, in humans, prenatal and adolescent exposure to nicotine exerts gender-specific deleterious effects on auditory and visual attention, with concomitant alterations in the efficiency of neurocircuitry supporting auditory attention.

“…Also, comparison of prospective and retrospective data for drinking during pregnancy has shown retrospective data to be valid (Griesler and Kandel, 1998). Moreover, follow-up of women for 4 and 5 years following their pregnancies has shown substantial reliability (r =0.53 and 0.67, respectively) between reports obtained during pregnancy and those obtained following pregnancy (Ernhart et al, 1988;Jacobson et al, 1991).…”

The prevalence of overweight and obese children is increasing, a tendency that can be expected to increase the risk of adverse outcomes in adulthood. The aim of this study was to determine if prenatal exposure to alcohol, cigarettes, and street drugs would be associated with differences in body mass index (BMI) in childhood and adolescence in offspring from families at high and low genetic risk for developing alcohol dependence. Annual follow-up of offspring (N =288) provided 1200 height and weight assessments for analysis. Maternal substance use data were available for 235 offspring from families stratified for familial/genetic risk for alcohol dependence (high or low risk), providing the opportunity to assess prenatal exposure and familial/genetic risk in relation to BMI in the offspring. When data were grouped by the presence or absence of any prenatal cigarette exposure, a significant difference in offspring BMI was seen for 8-to 11-year-olds. Significant group differences were also seen at ages 12-15 and 16-18 years. A dose-response relationship between cigarette use by the mother and offspring BMI was also seen. With the strong tendency for individuals who are overweight in childhood and adolescence to become overweight adults, prenatal exposure to nicotine may be a harbinger of increased risk for numerous adultonset, weight-related health problems.

“…We are aware that self-reported alcohol consumption around conception cannot accurately reflect the amount of alcohol intake at the time of sampling, at delivery. However, pregnant women tend to underreport their alcohol consumption, 34,35 and this effect is likely to increase during the course of pregnancy. 32,36 Previous studies have shown that women who drink the most around the time they discover they are pregnant, as assessed by AAD and AADD, are more likely to continue to drink throughout pregnancy, and to drink in binge patterns, although both the self-reported and the actual levels of consumption are usually reduced.…”

[32][33][34][35][36] Therefore, asking the women about their drinking habits around the time of conception seems to better reflect the actual amount of alcohol consumption over the course of the pregnancy than repeated questionnaires. It is interesting that an index of binge drinking, as assessed by the amount of alcohol (in grams) con- sumed per drinking day (ie, AADD), had a more profound influence in predicting DHA and AA levels than did the average daily alcohol consumption (ie, AAD).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective. Alcohol influences the intake and metabolism of several nutrients including longchain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs). The LCPUFAs docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) are particularly crucial for intrauterine growth and brain development. We hypothesized that alcohol consumption adversely affects LC-PUFA levels in pregnant women and their newborn infants.Methods. Pregnant black women (N ‫؍‬ 208) presenting at a core city antenatal clinic were screened and recruited. Shortly before delivery, maternal plasma was collected. After delivery, umbilical arteries and veins were dissected from the cords, total lipids were extracted from the vessel tissues and maternal plasma, and fatty acid levels were assayed by gas chromatography. For statistical analysis, subjects were categorized according to absolute alcohol intake per day (AAD) and absolute alcohol intake per drinking day (AADD) around the time of conception, with smoking and other potential confounders included in the analyses.Results. Significant differences in fatty acid composition of total lipid extracts were detected in umbilical cord vessels among the AADD groups: abstainers (AADD ‫؍‬ 0), moderate drinkers (AADD < 130 g), and heavy drinkers (AADD > 130 g). DHA and AA content in the arterial umbilical vessel wall was ϳ14% and ϳ10% higher in the moderate (n ‫؍‬ 127) and heavy (n ‫؍‬ 32) alcohol groups, respectively, than in abstainers (n ‫؍‬ 49). A small, nonsignificant increase (ϳ3%) was seen in the umbilical vein for AA but not for DHA. Alcohol intake was positively correlated to both DHA and AA concentrations in the arterial vessel wall but to neither in the venous wall nor maternal plasma. Maternal plasma DHA was positively correlated with both umbilical arteries and vein DHA, but there were no significant correlations for AA between maternal plasma and either umbilical vessel.Conclusions. Our findings indicate that alcohol intake during pregnancy is associated with altered DHA and AA status in fetal tissues. Although differences may be due to either metabolism and/or distribution, it is most likely a result of a direct influence of alcohol on fetal metabolism. Pediatrics 2005;115:e194-e203.
