Associations of green and blue space exposure in pregnancy with epigenetic gestational age acceleration [PDF]
Early life is seen as a particularly sensitive period for environmental exposures. Natural space exposure during pregnancy has been associated with offspring health.

Epigenetic gestational age acceleration: a prospective cohort study investigating associations with familial, sociodemographic and birth characteristics [PDF]
Background Gestational age at delivery is associated with health and social outcomes. Recently, cord blood DNA methylation data has been used to predict gestational age.

Prenatal and birth associations of epigenetic gestational age acceleration in the Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas (CHAMACOS) cohort [PDF]
Gestational age (GA) is an important determinant of child health and disease risk. Two epigenetic GA clocks have been developed using DNA methylation (DNAm) patterns in cord blood.

Gestational age acceleration is associated with epigenetic biomarkers of prenatal physiologic stress exposure. [PDF]
Abstract Background Physiological maternal stress response, such as imbalance in the glucocorticoid pathway and immune system seems to be mediated by DNA methylation (DNAm) and might translate intrauterine stress exposures into phenotypic changes in a sex-specific manner.

Immune pathways and prenatal/perinatal environmental exposures contribute to epigenetic gestational age prediction and acceleration [PDF]
DNA methylation (DNAm), capturing chronological gestational age (GA) and epigenetic gestational age acceleration (EGAA), can be modified by environmental exposures. The Asthma&Allergy array is a new DNAm array developed with content focused on asthma and

Epigenetic Age Acceleration in Mothers and Offspring 4–10 Years after a Pregnancy Complicated by Gestational Diabetes and Obesity [PDF]
A known association exists between exposure to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) in GDM-exposed offspring compared to those without GDM exposure.

Cross-Cohort Mixture Analysis: A Data Integration Approach With Applications on Gestational Age and DNA-Methylation-Derived Gestational Age Acceleration Metrics. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Data integration of multiple studies can provide enhanced exposure contrast and statistical power to examine associations between environmental exposure mixtures and health outcomes. Extant research has combined populations and identified an overall mixture–outcome association, without accounting for differences across ...

Maternal Vitamin D Deficiency Is a Risk Factor for Infants' Epigenetic Gestational Age Acceleration at Birth in Japan: A Cohort Study. [PDF]
Background/Objectives: The DNA methylation of neonatal cord blood can be used to accurately estimate gestational age. This is known as epigenetic gestational age. The greater the difference between epigenetic and chronological gestational age, the greater the association with an inappropriate perinatal fetal environment and development.

Amplification of the epigenetic (gestational) age acceleration signal [PDF]
ABSTRACTBackgroundEpigenetic (gestational) age acceleration (E(G)AA) is associated with environmental exposures and health outcomes in humans. However, E(G)AA is the residual term from a regression of epigenetic age (outcome) on chronological (gestational) age (predictor) and therefore strongly obscured by ‘noise’ from multiple sources.
