Objectives: To investigate the associations of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour in early childhood with asthma and reduced lung function in later childhood within a large collaborative study.
Design: Pooling of longitudinal data from collaborating birth cohorts using meta-analysis of separate cohort-specific estimates and analysis of individual participant data of all cohorts combined.
Setting: Children aged 0-18 years from 26 European birth cohorts.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the body composition and metabolic health of 25 adults with Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS), a condition linked to low birth weight and potential future health issues.* -
- Findings reveal that adults with SRS had significantly higher fat percentages, lower lean mass percentages, and reduced bone mineral density compared to unaffected individuals.* -
- The results indicate that individuals with SRS are at an increased risk for cardiometabolic diseases, highlighting the importance of ongoing health monitoring for this population.*
International sharing of cohort data for research is important and challenging. We explored the feasibility of multicohort federated analyses by examining associations between 3 pregnancy exposures (maternal education, exposure to green vegetation, and gestational diabetes) and offspring body mass index (BMI) from infancy to age 17 years. We used data from 18 cohorts (n = 206,180 mother-child pairs) from the EU Child Cohort Network and derived BMI at ages 0-1, 2-3, 4-7, 8-13, and 14-17 years.

To date, studies addressing this theme mainly focused on school children and rarely accounted for sleep, with a cross-country perspective.
Objectives: We aimed at comparing lifestyle patterns among preschool-aged children across Europe, their associations with socio-demographic factors and their links with body mass index (BMI).
