AbstractObjectives:To document the consumption during pregnancy ofpulque, a traditional central Mexican alcoholic beverage, and its relationship to subsequent infant size, physical growth and performance on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development.Design:Prospective cohort study.Setting:Six villages in rural, central Mexico in 1984–1985.Subjects:Seventy mother–infant pairs.Results:Most women (72.9%) consumedpulqueduring pregnancy, and 28.6% consumed more than 150 g ethanol week−1from the beverage. Individuals who consumedpulqueshowed no compensating decrease in energy obtained from other foods.Pulqueconsumption possessed curvilinear relationships with both infant length (at 1 and 6 months) and Bayley mental performance (at 6 months). Heavypulqueintakes were associated with smaller infant size and poorer mental performance. In modest quantities,pulqueconsumption may have been beneficial due to its micronutrient content.Conclusions:Intakes of alcohol frompulquewere common among pregnant women in these rural, central Mexican villages. Given current scientific knowledge of the adverse effects of ethanol on foetal development, public health interventions are needed to reduce heavypulqueconsumption during pregnancy in some areas of rural Mexico.

An exploratory assessment was made of the relationship between morbidity during the first six months of life and performance in the Bayley Scales of Mental and Motor Development at eight months of life. The study was conducted in 14 villages of Sui Lin Township, Taiwan, which is a rural agricultural area 180 miles south of Taipei. Prior to the study daily dietary intake of the mothers was estimated to range from 1400 to 2000 kcal and 40 grams of protein. Developmentally the children who were healthy were better off than the children who became ill during the first two trimesters. A striking adverse effect of morbidity was found on both mental and motor scale scores when gastrointestinal and respiratory illness were aggregated. Children without illness plus children who were ill with only one illness in one trimester obtained statistically significantly higher scores than the children who were ill with both types of illness and in both trimesters. These findings were explained as a function of the negative energy balance generally found among ill children in populations where malnutrition is endemic. In search for homeostasis the child reduces activity to decrease energy expenditure, and it is to be expected that the relation of a sick child with its environment may be in jeopardy. A hypothesis regarding the relationship between incidence of morbidity and development is proposed.

ObjectiveWe aimed to identify gestational-age corrected prenatal ultrasound markers of complex gastroschisis, and to compare physical growth and neurodevelopment between children with simple and complex gastroschisis.DesignWe included prenatally diagnosed gastroschisis patients from 2000 to 2012 who joined our longitudinal follow-up programme. Associations between complex gastroschisis and prenatal ultrasound markers collected at 30 weeks’ gestation and prior to delivery were tested using logistic regression. Physical growth (SD scores (SDS)), mental and psychomotor developmental index (MDI, PDI; Bayley Scales of Infant Development) were recorded at 12 and 24 months. Data were analysed using general linear models and compared with population norms.ResultsData of 61 children were analysed (82% of eligible cases). Extra-abdominal bowel dilatation at 30 weeks’ gestation was significantly associated with complex gastroschisis (OR (95% CI): 5.00 (1.09 to 22.98)), with a high negative (88%) but low positive (40%) predictive value. The mean (95% CI) height SDS at 12 months (−0.46 (–0.82 to –0.11)), and weight SDS at 12 and 24 months (−0.45 (–0.85 to –0.05), and −0.44 (−0.87 to –0.01), respectively) fell significantly below 0 SDS. MDI and PDI were significantly below 100 at 24 months; 93 (88 to 99) and 83 (78 to 87), respectively). Children with complex gastroschisis had a significantly lower PDI (76 (68 to 84)) than those with simple gastroschisis (94 (90 to 97), p<0.001).ConclusionsPrenatal ultrasound markers could not reliably distinguish between simple and complex gastroschisis. Children with complex gastroschisis may be at increased risk for delayed psychomotor development; they should be monitored more closely, and offered timely intervention.

Abstract Background Head circumference (HC) measurement is routinely not performed in early childhood and there is conflicting information about its utility in literature. The current study analyses the association between HC at two years of age and cognition at two and five years of age. Methods A community based birth-cohort recruited between 2010 and 2012 was followed up till five years of age in an urban slum in Vellore, India. Children were recruited at birth after informed parental consent by consecutive sampling using eligibility criteria of healthy new-born, singleton pregnancy and family’s availability in the study area during follow-up. HC measured at two years of age was used as the exposure variable to calculate association with cognition at both two and five years of age. Cognitive domain of Bayley scale of infant development was used at two years of age and Wechsler Preschool Primary Scales of Intelligence at five years. Results Of the 251 enrolled children, 138 (55%) were girls and 71 (30%) belonged to lower socioeconomic status. At 2 years, 8.81% of children had HC < − 3SD. Compared to children with HC z-scores ≥ − 2 SD, those with measurements < − 3 SD had a lower cognition scores by − 2.21 [95% CI: − 3.87 - -0.56] at 2 years. Also, children with HC < − 3 SD at two years scored significantly lower scores in cognitive domains of verbal, − 7.35 [95% CI: − 11.78 - -2.92] and performance, − 7.07 [95% CI: − 11.77 - -2.36] intelligence at five years. Conclusions This study showed that smaller HC at 2 years of age was negatively associated with cognition at both 2 and 5 years of age. Early childhood HC measurements can be utilised as a cheaper screening tool to identify children at risk in LMIC settings. Further studies can confirm these findings in diverse settings.
