Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the relationship between parental age at conception and the risk of childhood acute leukaemia (AL) among Mexican children, given the high incidence of the disease in that population.
- - A multicenter case-control approach was used, comparing children diagnosed with AL to matched controls, and applying statistical analysis to investigate the impacts of maternal and paternal ages on this risk.
- - The findings revealed minimal associations between parental ages and childhood AL, though a higher risk for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) was noted when mothers were 20-24 years old, and some association for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) with younger mothers and fathers.
A greater birthweight increases the risk of acute leukemias in Mexican children-experience from the Mexican Interinstitutional Group for the Identification of the Causes of Childhood Leukemia (MIGICCL).

In Mexico, due to the high rates of diabetes, overweight, and obesity, there has also been noted an increased newborn weight, which may be contributing to the elevated incidence rate of childhood acute leukemia (AL). We conducted a case-control study in public hospitals of Mexico City aimed to know whether a greater weight at birth is associated with a higher risk of developing leukemia. We included incident cases with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) diagnosed between 2010 and 2015.
