Article Synopsis
- Epidemiological studies indicate that exposure to green spaces during childhood could potentially lower the risk of developing ADHD symptoms.
- The research focused on both prenatal and early childhood exposure to greenness, examining its effects on ADHD symptoms in children up to age 12, while also considering the roles of pollution and physical activity.
- Results showed significant negative associations between early childhood greenness and ADHD symptoms, particularly at close distances to residences, suggesting a protective effect, but no mediation through pollution or physical activity was identified.
Early childcare arrangements and children's internalizing and externalizing symptoms: an individual participant data meta-analysis of six prospective birth cohorts in Europe.

Background: Early childcare attendance may be related to children's internalizing and externalizing symptoms throughout childhood and young adolescence, however evidence from Europe is limited. We aimed to assess this association across multiple population-based birth cohorts of children recruited in different European countries.
Methods: Data come from six parent-offspring prospective birth cohort studies across five European countries within the EU Child Cohort Network.

Background: Urban environments are characterized by many factors that may influence children's energy balance-related behaviors (EBRBs), but there is limited research on the impact of prospective exposure to multiple urban factors in preschoolers. We evaluated prospective associations between various urban exposures and EBRBs in preschoolers across Europe, with EBRBs considered both individually and combined into lifestyle patterns.
Methods: We used data from 4,073 preschoolers (aged 3-4 years) participating in three European cohorts from the EU Child Cohort Network: BiB (United Kingdom), EDEN (France), and INMA (Spain).
Socioeconomic position, family context, and child cognitive development.

Socioeconomic position (SEP) may have different effects on cognitive development and family context could play a role in this association. This work aimed to analyse the role of socioeconomic positions, measured via various indicators collected longitudinally, in cognitive development at 7-11 years of age, evaluating the role of family context as a potential mediator. The study sample included 394 and 382 children from the INMA Gipuzkoa and Valencia cohorts, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed how exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) during prenatal and early postnatal periods affects cognitive and motor skills in 1,303 mother-child pairs in Spain.
- Results showed significant susceptibility to PM exposure in early pregnancy weeks (1-9) impacting fine motor skills and in weeks 7-17 affecting gross motor skills, but verbal scores were only weakly connected to PM exposure.
- Interestingly, while certain PM exposures during postnatal periods linked to lower perceptual performance, some later exposures showed unexpected protective effects, without evidence that fetal growth or child sex influenced susceptibility.

Few prior studies have explored windows of susceptibility to fine particulate matter (PM) in both the prenatal and postnatal periods and children's attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. We analyzed data from 1416 mother-child pairs from the Spanish INMA (INfancia y Medio Ambiente) Study (2003-2008). Around 5 years of age, teachers reported the number of ADHD symptoms (i.

Sleep problems and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are interrelated during childhood and preadolescence. The objective of this work is assessing if sleep problems at ages 8-9 represent an alarm sign for presenting ADHD problems at ages 10-11 in three cohorts from INMA Study. Participants were 1244 children from Gipuzkoa, Sabadell, and Valencia cohorts.
