Kidney growth in small-for-gestational-age infants: evidence of early accelerated renal growth [PDF]

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2006
Very few data are available on longitudinal renal growth in small for gestational age (SGA) infants born at term. The aim of this prospective study was to estimate comparatively the renal growth in SGA infants and in infants born appropriate for gestational age (AGA) during the first 2 years of life.The study comprised groups of SGA and AGA infants ...

DNA methylation age at birth and childhood: performance of epigenetic clocks and characteristics associated with epigenetic age acceleration in the Project Viva cohort

Clinical Epigenetics, 2023
Background Epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) and epigenetic gestational age acceleration (EGAA) are biomarkers of physiological development and may be affected by the perinatal environment.

Placental epigenetic gestational aging in relation to maternal sociodemographic factors and smoking among infants born extremely preterm: a descriptive study

Epigenetics, 2022
Social determinants of health (SDoH) are defined as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age. The distribution of these conditions is influenced by underlying structural factors and may be linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes ...

Epigenetic age and pregnancy outcomes: GrimAge acceleration is associated with shorter gestational length and lower birthweight [PDF]

Clinical Epigenetics, 2020
Abstract Background Advanced biological aging, as measured by epigenetic aging indices, is associated with early mortality and morbidity. Associations between maternal epigenetic aging indices in pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes, namely gestational length and birthweight, have not been assessed.

Accelerated epigenetic age at birth and child emotional and behavioura development in early childhood: a meta-analysis of four prospective cohort studies in ECHO

Epigenetics, 2023
Background: ‘Epigenetic clocks’ have been developed to accurately predict chronologic gestational age and have been associated with child health outcomes in prior work. Methods: We meta-analysed results from four prospective U.S cohorts investigating the

Chronic gestational hypoxia accelerates ovarian aging and lowers ovarian reserve in next‐generation adult rats [PDF]

The FASEB Journal, 2019
ABSTRACT Chronic fetal hypoxia is a common complication observed in human pregnancy, impacting pregnancies across global contexts. Exposure to chronic intrauterine hypoxia has major short‐ and long‐term consequences for offspring health.

Early infant feeding and adiposity risk: from infancy to adulthood [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction: Systematic reviews suggest that a longer duration of breast-feeding is associated with a reduction in the risk of later overweight and obesity.

A Long-Term Enriched Environment Ameliorates the Accelerated Age-Related Memory Impairment Induced by Gestational Administration of Lipopolysaccharide: Role of Plastic Mitochondrial Quality Control [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
Studies have shown that gestational inflammation accelerates age-related memory impairment in mother mice. An enriched environment (EE) can improve age-related memory impairment, whereas mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of brain aging.
