Objectives: To estimate and assess pregnancy smoking trends since 1978, according to sociodemographic characteristics, in three Brazilian sites.
Methods: We used cross-sectional data from the perinatal studies of nine birth cohorts, located in the southeast (Ribeirão Preto-1978/1979, 1994, and 2010), south (Pelotas-1982, 1993, 2004, and 2015), and northeast (São Luís-1997/1998 and 2010) regions of Brazil. We estimated the prevalence of pregnancy smoking at each time point according to age, education, and family income, in each cohort, and evaluated smoking trends.
Results: We analyzed data of 17,275 women in Ribeirão Preto, 19,819 in Pelotas, and 7753 in São Luís. Smoking decreased by 59% in Ribeirão Preto (p < 0.001), 54% in Pelotas (p < 0.001), and 32% in São Luís (p < 0.001). However, among those with 0-4 years of education, smoking did not change in Ribeirão Preto (p-trend = 0.501) nor São Luís (p = 0.556) and increased in Pelotas (p-trend = 0.003).
Conclusions: Pregnancy smoking has been declining during the last decades. However, among less-educated women, pregnancy smoking did not change in two sites and increased in one of them.

Background: Few studies have explored the association between DNA methylation and physical activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of objectively measured hours of sedentary behavior (SB) and moderate physical activity (MPA) with DNA methylation. We further aimed to explore the association between SB or MPA related CpG sites and cardiometabolic traits, gene expression, and genetic variation.

Background: The effect of maternal smoking around birth (MSAB) on gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in the offspring is still not fully understood.
Aim: We conducted a rigorous Mendelian randomization (MR) study to examine the association between MSAB and 24 GI diseases in offspring.
Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with MSAB were obtained from a recent study.

Numerous risk factors for oesophageal cancer are linked to lifestyle habits, but the role of early-life factors in its incidence and mortality is unclear. Using UK Biobank data, we explore the association among breastfeeding, maternal smoking, smoking in offspring, and oesophageal cancer risk in adult offspring via multivariable Cox regression. Here, we show that being breastfed, compared with not being breastfed, is associated with a lower risk of oesophageal cancer incidence (HR: 0.

Background: In 2017, the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) lowered blood pressure (BP) thresholds to define hypertension in adults outside pregnancy. If used in pregnancy, these lower thresholds may identify women at increased risk of adverse outcomes, which would be particularly useful to risk-stratify nulliparous women. In this secondary analysis of the SCOPE cohort, we asked whether, among standard-risk nulliparous women, the ACC/AHA BP categories could identify women at increased risk for adverse outcomes.

Importance: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally and a significant cause of cancer-related deaths. Understanding the impact of cervical cancer diagnosed during pregnancy on maternal, delivery, and neonatal outcomes is crucial for improving clinical management and outcomes for affected women and their children.
Objective: To determine the effects of cervical cancer diagnosed during pregnancy on maternal, delivery, and neonatal outcomes using a population based, American database.
