Article Synopsis
- The study examines the link between maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and the occurrence of mental health issues in children at age 11, using data from a large birth cohort.
- Maternal BMI categories ranged from underweight to obesity, and children's mental health was evaluated using a standardized questionnaire assessing various behavioral and emotional difficulties.
- Findings indicate that maternal obesity is linked to higher chances of mental difficulties in children, particularly noting that boys with overweight mothers had an increased risk of conduct problems compared to those with mothers of normal weight.
Background: Ideal cardiovascular health (ICH) aims at primordial prevention of cardiovascular diseases in the population. However, there is a lack of research describing ICH in youth from middle-income countries. The aims of this study were to describe the prevalence of ICH at 18- and 22-year-old and to investigate the influence of socioeconomic status.

- The study investigates how specific genetic polymorphisms (rs4916723 and rs4938723) may influence the risk of psychiatric disorders in children from the Pelotas Birth Cohort.
- Results showed that the rs4916723 variant is linked to a lower likelihood of having any psychiatric disorder and seems to particularly affect internalizing disorders, while rs4938723 did not show significant associations.
- The findings indicate that the genetic variant rs4916723 could play a significant role in the susceptibility to psychiatric conditions, especially those related to internalizing issues.
Objective: To investigate the influence of maternal depression on child health-care services utilization.
Methodology: Data from The Pelotas 2004 Birth Cohort collected at birth and at 12- and 24-month follow-ups were used. Four outcomes occurring in the second year of life were investigated: number of well-baby visits, number of medical appointments, number of visits to emergency rooms, and number of hospitalizations.
Background: The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder characterized by persistent symptoms of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. The diet during childhood has been investigated as a factor potentially involved in the ADHD etiology.
Objective: To review systematically the evidence of the association between dietary patterns and ADHD.
Background: Obesity is one of the conditions that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Studies about obesity trajectory and cardio metabolic outcomes at adulthood are still scarce. Therefore, we aimed to assess the association between patterns of overweight over the life-course and cardio metabolic risk factors in young adults.
