Prenatal manganese (Mn) exposure may be related to poor birth outcomes; however, there are few relevant epidemiological reports on the effects of intrauterine Mn levels on intrauterine fetal and early childhood growth. From 2013 to 2016, 2082 pairs of mothers and infants were recruited in Wuhan, China, who provided an entire set of urine samples during their first, second, and third trimesters. Fetal head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), femoral length (FL), and estimated fetal weight (EFW) were obtained by ultrasound at the 16, 24, and 31 weeks of pregnancy.

Objectives: Our study aimed to evaluate associations of trimester-specific urinary Sr concentrations with fetal growth parameters and birth size indicators.
Methods: In this prospective cohort, 9015 urine samples (first trimester: 3561, 2nd trimester: 2756, 3rd trimester: 2698) from 3810 mothers were measured for urinary Sr levels using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and adjusted to urine specific gravity.
Importance: Although the effects of lead (Pb) exposure on neurocognition in children have been confirmed, the individual associations of prenatal Pb exposure and its interaction with genetic factors on cognitive developmental delay (CDD) in children remain unclear.
Objective: To investigate the association of prenatal Pb exposure and its interaction with genetic factors with CDD risk.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Women in Wuhan, China, who had an expected delivery date between March 2014 and December 2017, were recruited for this prospective cohort study.
