Effect Of Diet and Other Early Exposures on Child Health and Development

饮食和其他早期暴露可能会影响儿童发育和几种慢性疾病的风险，但需要进行更多的研究。 在这个包罗万象的项目中描述的当前研究包括两个项目，如下所述 一份研讨会报告介绍了新生儿内分泌干扰的最新评估。 我们还在围产期合作项目中对年轻妇女初潮年龄的决定因素进行了研究。 主要发现是，与之前的研究相比，子宫内接触香烟烟雾与随后的月经初潮年龄无关。 我合作的另外两个项目是由NIEHS流行病学分支的Donna Baird博士领导的，在她的报告中有描述。 去年的进展： 发表了5篇论文（见下文）。

Diet and other early exposures may affect child development and the risk of several chronic diseases, but additional research is needed. The current research described in this catch-all project comprises two project, described below A workshop report presents state-of-the-art assessment of endocrine disruption in neonates. We also conducted a study of determinants of age at menarche among young women in the Collaborative Perinatal Project. The main finding was that, in contrast with a previous study, that exposure to cigarette smoke in utero was unrelated to subsequent age at menarche. Two other projects on which I collaborated were lead by Dr. Donna Baird of the NIEHS Epidemiology Branch and are described in her report. Last years progress: 5 papers were published (see list below).
