31. Prenatal Exposure of the Northern Quebec Inuit Infants to Environmental Contaminants.

Author

Muckle, Gina, Ayotte, Pierre, Dewailly, Eric, Jacobson, Sandra W., and Jacobson, Joseph L.

Abstract

Through their marine-based diet, the Inuit of Nunavik (Quebec) are exposed to neurotoxic environmental contaminants that impact cognitive development. Mercury levels in Nunavik Inuit mothers and newborns were higher than in U.S. and Canadian populations but lower than in previous Arctic samples. Lead, polychlorinated biphenyls, chorinated pesticides, and possibly protective substances (selenium and N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids) were also measured. (SV)

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Inuit in Canada experience alarming levels of food insecurity, but nutritional and physiological consequences are poorly documented, especially in school-age children. The objective of this study was to assess the relation of food insecurity to iron deficiency and stature in school-aged Inuit children from Nunavik (Northern Quebec). METHODS: Food insecurity, iron deficiency, and stature were assessed in a cohort of children. Food insecurity was determined by interviewing the children's mothers. Multiple logistic regression was used to evaluate the association of food insecurity to iron deficiency and short stature. We defined short stature as a height in the lowest tertile for age and sex, based on Canadian growth charts. The relation of food insecurity to height (cm) was analyzed with a general linear model. Statistical models controlled for age, sex, normal/overweight/obese status, prenatal lead exposure and postnatal polychlorinated biphenyls exposure. RESULTS: Half of the children (49.7%, n=145) were food insecure, while one third were iron depleted, 12.6% had anaemia, and 8.7% had irondeficiency anaemia. The multivariate odds ratio of anaemia was 1.82 (95% CI: 0.97, 3.42, p=0.06) for food-insecure children. Prevalence of short stature was 18.7%. Food-insecure children were an average of 2 cm shorter (95% CI: -0.48, -3.17) than food-secure children (p CONCLUSION: In this population, food-insecure children have greater burdens of nutritional deficiencies and slower linear growth. Considering the high prevalence of food insecurity among Inuit children in Nunavik, nutritional deficiencies and adverse effects on development should be carefully monitored. KEY TERMS: Food insecurity; nutritional deficiencies; iron; growth; children; indigenous health OBJECTIFS: Les Inuits du Canada presentent des niveaux d'insecurite alimentaire alarmants dont les consequences nutritionnelles et physiologiques sont meconnues, surtout chez les enfants d'age scolaire. L'objectif de notre etude etait d'evaluer la relation entre l'insecurite alimentaire, d'une part, et la carence en fer et la taille, d'autre part, chez les enfants inuits du Nunavik (Nord-du-Quebec) en age de frequenter l'ecole. METHODE: Nous avons evalue l'insecurite alimentaire, la carence en fer et la taille dans une cohorte d'enfants. L'insecurite alimentaire a ete determinee en interviewant les meres des enfants. Par regression logistique multiple, nous avons evalue l'association entre l'insecurite alimentaire et la carence en fer et la petite taille. Nous avons defini la petite taille comme etant la taille dans le tertile inferieur pour l'age et le sexe, selon les fiches de croissance canadiennes. Le rapport entre l'insecurite alimentaire et la taille (en centimetres) a ete analyse selon un modele lineaire general. Des modeles statistiques ont permis de rajuster les donnees selon l'age, le sexe, le poids normal/le surpoids/l'obesite, l'exposition prenatale au plomb et l'exposition postnatale aux biphenyles polychlores. RESULTATS: La moitie des enfants (49,7%, n=145) etaient confrontes a l'insecurite alimentaire, le tiers des enfants etaient carences en fer, 12,6% faisaient de l'anemie, et 8,7% presentaient une anemie ferriprive. Le rapport de cotes multivarie de l'anemie etait de 1,82 (IC de 95%: 0,97, 3,42, p=0,06) chez les enfants confrontes a l'insecurite alimentaire. La prevalence de la petite taille etait de 18,7%. Les enfants touches par l'insecurite alimentaire mesuraient en moyenne 2 cm de moins (IC de 95%: -0,48, -3,17) que les enfants epargnes par l'insecurite alimentaire (p CONCLUSION: Dans cette population, les enfants confrontes a l'insecurite alimentaire avaient un plus lourd fardeau de carences alimentaires et une croissance lineaire plus lente. Etant donne la forte prevalence de l'insecurite alimentaire chez les enfants inuits du Nunavik, les carences alimentaires et leurs effets indesirables sur le developpement devraient etre suivis attentivement. MOTS CLES: insecurite alimentaire; carences alimentaires; fer; croissance; enfant; sante autochtone, Food insecurity attains alarming levels in Inuit populations of northern Canada. (1) Measures of food insecurity traditionally encompass concepts of availability and access to sufficient food, as well as food [...]

Abstract

OBJETIVO: Evaluar la asociación entre los niveles séricos maternos de DDT/DDE y el riesgo de hipospadias. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio de casos y controles, efectuado en la Ciudad de México durante el periodo 1997-1999, con 41 casos de hipospadias y 28 controles. La informacion obtenida por cuestionario y las muestras sanguíneas fueron evaluadas mediante modelos multivariados de regresión logística. RESULTADOS: Las concentraciones materna de DDT y DDE no mostraron asociación con el riesgo de hipospadias (RM 1.13; IC 95% 0.24-5.29 y RM 0.48; IC 95% 0.15-1.60, respectivamente). Los predictores encontrados fueron hijos de madres con mayor edad (RM 8.69; IC 95% 1.69-44.9), y la actividad laboral durante el embarazo (RM, 4.68; IC 95% 1.15-18.9). CONCLUSIONES: Dado que se cuenta con escasa información sobre los efectos endocrinos a diferentes concentraciones de DDT/DDE en humanos, la dosis pudiera ser un factor determinante sobre el tipo de efecto.
