Maternal psychosocial risk factors and offspring gestational epigenetic age acceleration in a South African birth cohort study [PDF]
, 2018 Epigenetic age (EA) acceleration is associated with higher risk of chronic disease and mortality in adults. However, little is known about whether and how in utero exposures might shape gestational EA acceleration at birth. We aimed to explore associations between maternal psychosocial risk factors and offspring gestational EA acceleration at birth in

Striatal Morphological and Functional Alterations Induced by Prenatal Alcohol Exposure [PDF]
, 2019 Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is an insidious yet preventable cause of developmental disability. The prenatal stage is a critical period for brain development with the concurrence of high vulnerability to the acute and prolonged effects of PAE.

Prenatal Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution and Epigenetic Aging at Birth in Newborns
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 In utero air pollution exposure has been associated with adverse birth outcomes, yet effects of air pollutants on regulatory mechanisms in fetal growth and critical windows of vulnerability during pregnancy are not well understood. There is evidence that

Promotion of faster weight gain in infants born small for gestational age - Is there an adverse effect on later blood pressure? [PDF]
, 2007 Background - Being born small for gestational age is associated with later risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure. Promotion of postnatal growth has been proposed to ameliorate these effects. There is evidence in animals and
