“…There was a trend toward lower levels of child-reported sleep problems for children from mothers who had received more years of education (Table 3). This complements research showing a positive relation between parental education and sleep duration and quality (Cameron et al, 2022).…”

Exposure to war is known to impact children’s physical and mental health. Recent research reveals that war exposure might even affect the developmental outcomes of children who are yet to be conceived. In this study, we sought to extend such prior work by investigating longitudinal associations between pre-conception war exposure and the accompanying maternal emotional distress on child sleep. Israeli mothers, who conceived within a year after the Lebanon war in 2006 ( N = 68), were followed until their children reached 10 years of age. At that age, child sleep problems were measured through mother and child reports. Results from analyses of covariances (ANCOVAs) showed that war exposure prior to conception itself did not predict child sleep. However, hierarchical regression analyses showed that higher levels of maternal emotional distress, as a result of pre-conception war exposure, predicted more sleep problems in girls. Further exploratory analyses revealed that these associations showed themselves in both maternal and child reports on various sleep domains. In boys, no evidence was found for associations between maternal emotional distress during wartime and sleep 10 years later. These results indicate that war-related pre-conception stress might have long-term, sex-specific effects on child sleep, though replication with larger samples is needed to corroborate the findings.

“…Adolescent sleep problems are associated with a wide range of psychiatric disorders [ 6–10 ] as well as other individual youth attributes [ 11 , 12 ]. Characteristics of youth’s family [ 13–16 ], school [ 17 , 18 ], and neighborhood [ 19 , 20 ] environments have also been linked to sleep disturbances. Despite considerable evidence of individual associations of such constructs with sleep problems in adolescents, little is known about the complex, combined associations across these domains and their links to multifaceted sleep disturbances.…”

“…Previous work suggests bidirectional links between adolescent sleep disturbances and both internalizing [ 25 ] and externalizing symptoms [ 26 , 27 ]. Additionally, socioeconomic factors such as higher neighborhood disadvantage [ 19 , 20 ] and lower parental education [ 13 ] have been linked to poorer sleep quality and shorter sleep duration, while family conflict [ 14 , 15 ] and hostile school environments [ 18 ] have been found to contribute to disrupted sleeping habits. Moreover, many individual and health-related characteristics such as body mass index (BMI) and screen and media use have been shown to impact sleep hygiene and bedtime routines [ 12 , 28 ].…”

Study Objectives Sleep disturbances are common in adolescence and associated with a host of negative outcomes. Here we assess associations between multifaceted sleep disturbances and a broad set of psychological, cognitive, and demographic variables using a data-driven approach, canonical correlation analysis (CCA). Methods Baseline data from 9,093 participants from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development℠ (ABCD) Study were examined using CCA, a multivariate statistical approach that identifies many-to-many associations between two sets of variables by finding combinations for each set of variables that maximize their correlation. We combined CCA with leave-one-site-out cross-validation across ABCD sites to examine the robustness of results and generalizability to new participants. The statistical significance of canonical correlations was determined by non-parametric permutation tests that accounted for twin, family, and site structure. To assess the stability of the associations identified at baseline, CCA was repeated using two-year follow-up data from 4,247 ABCD Study participants. Results Two significant sets of associations were identified: 1) difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep and excessive daytime somnolence were strongly linked to nearly all domains of psychopathology (r-squared = 0.36, p < .0001); 2) sleep breathing disorders were linked to BMI and African American/Black race (r-squared = 0.08, p < .0001). These associations generalized to unseen participants at all 22 ABCD sites and were replicated using two-year follow-up data. Conclusions These findings underscore interwoven links between sleep disturbances in early adolescence and psychological, social, and demographic factors.

“…Social characteristics refer to factors such as neighbourhood deprivation (i.e., low socioeconomic status (SES) ( 14 ), disorder (i.e., incivility, deterioration, crime) ( 15 ), social capital ( 16 ), and ethnic composition ( 12 , 17 ). Extant research has found strong associations between neighbourhood characteristics, particularly deprivation, with physical, behavioural, and mental health outcomes in children ( 18 – 21 ). Children in disadvantaged neighbourhoods (i.e., lower SES and poor physical conditions) on average were at higher odds of experiencing obesity ( 22 ), having poor peer relations ( 23 ), lower cognitive development ( 24 , 25 ) and more mental health concerns ( 26 ).…”

Neighbourhood characteristics, lifestyle factors, and child development: Secondary analysis of the All our families cohort study

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundNeighbourhood characteristics have been found to influence child development, but little is known about lifestyle factors that may moderate this relationship, which can provide modifiable targets for policies and programing. This study investigated the association between neighbourhood characteristics (e.g., deprivation, disorder) during pregnancy and child development at age 5 in relation to various lifestyle factors (e.g., physical activity, parent-child reading, community resource use) during early childhood.MethodsA secondary analysis was conducted using multilevel modeling of data from the All Our Families cohort, recruited in Canada from 2008 to 2010. Participants self-reported on demographics during pregnancy, lifestyle factors at 3 years, and child development at 5 years using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3). Neighbourhood deprivation was evaluated using the Vancouver Area Deprivation Index (VANDIX), while disorder was measured using police services' community crime reports.ResultsGeocoded information was available for 2,444 participants. After adjusting for covariates, multilevel modeling indicated a significant negative association between neighbourhood deprivation and overall child development (b = −.726, 95% CI: −1.344, −.120). Parent-child reading was found to be a significant moderator of the effect of neighbourhood disorder (b = .005, 95% CI: .001, .009). There were no statistically significant moderation effects for physical activity or community resource use.ConclusionNeighbourhood deprivation during pregnancy is associated with early child development. Parent-child reading may function as a protective factor in the presence of higher neighbourhood disorder. Overall, neighbourhood-level effects should be considered in policies and community programs that promote family and child well-being.
