Background: Using disinfectants and cleaning products (DCPs) at home and work is known to influence both the onset and course of asthma, but most epidemiological studies did not consider the multiplicity and correlations of exposures to DCPs. We aimed to identify exposure profiles for the long-term weekly use of DCPs by latent class analysis (LCA) and assess their associations with asthma.
Methods: LCA was conducted on data from 1143 young adults initially recruited in the German centers of Phase II of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) and followed up three times.
Objective: To evaluate the association between different types of human milk feeds and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants.
Methods: Data on dispensed mother's own milk (MOM) and donor human milk (DHM) from Leipzig Milk Bank for hospitalized infants with a gestational age (GA) ≤32 weeks observed from birth to 36 weeks' postmenstrual age or prior discharge were used. BPD was assessed based on documented International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) diagnosis and on electronic hospital records (EHR) of data on ventilation and oxygen supplementation.
Maternal experience of child maltreatment (CM) has been associated with maternal and child mental health. However, evidence about the course of child mental health and maternal CM is scarce. Therefore, this study aims to compare trajectories of mental health in children according to maternal CM exposure and maternal mental health.

- Healthy sleep is crucial for children's development, but increased digital media use among preschoolers is linked to poorer sleep quality.
- This study examined whether reading books could improve sleep and help counteract the negative effects of screen time.
- Findings showed that while screen use increased and reading time decreased, replacing some screen time with reading was associated with better sleep health in preschoolers, suggesting reading could be a helpful intervention for sleep issues.
