AimThe aim of this study was to investigate early life determinants of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in 7-year-old children.MethodThe study was based on data from 33354 women and their children who participated in the 7-year follow-up study of the Danish National Birth Cohort. Information on several potential determinants (maternal age at conception, maternal occupational status, smoking and alcohol consumption during pregnancy, child's sex, intrauterine growth restriction, degree of preterm birth, and age at walking) was obtained from population registries, from interviews during pregnancy and when the child was 18months old. The outcome in this study was DCD at 7years of age, measured by the validated Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire. The associations between the potential determinants and DCD were estimated using logistic regression.ResultsThe study population consisted of 17065 males and 16289 females (141 [0.4%] born very preterm [23(+0)-31(+6)wk]; 1281 [3.8%] born moderately preterm [32(+0)-36(+6)wk]; 29044 [87.1%] were born term [37(+0)-41(+6)wk], and 2888 [8.7%] were born post-term [42(+0)wk]). Independently of each other, the following determinants were predictors of DCD: being a female (odds ratio [OR] 0.36 [95% confidence interval {CI} 0.31-0.41]); being born very preterm (OR 6.28 [95% CI 3.99-9.89]) or moderately preterm (OR 2.10 [95% CI 1.65-2.67]); being small for gestational age (OR 1.74 [95% CI 1.46-2.08]); being 15months of age or more at walking attainment (OR 3.05 [95% CI 2.57-3.60]); and maternal occupational status (higher grade professionals (OR 1.28 [95% CI 1.02-1.61); economically inactive (OR 1.43 [95% CI 1.07-1.91]). Young maternal age and smoking were risk factors among term-born children.InterpretationThe risk of DCD increases with decreasing gestational age. Intrauterine growth restriction is also a strong risk factor, as well as delayed walking.
