Abstract

Source at https://vkm.no/english/riskassessments/allpublications/benefitandriskassessmentofbreastmilkforinfanthealthinnorway.4.27ef9ca915e07938c3b2a6df.html. Breastmilk covers all the nutritional needs of the infant the first months of life, with the exception of vitamin D. In addition, breastmilk has a number of protective properties. However, as humans are exposed to polluting chemicals through food, air, water and skin contact, breastmilk also contains contaminants. Taking the present-day levels of contaminants in Norwegian breastmilk and the long duration of breastfeeding (12 months) in Norway into account, the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety concludes that contaminants poses a low risk to Norwegian infants, and that the benefits of breastmilk to Norwegian infants clearly outweigh the risk presented by contaminants.

Abstract

Breast milk is both an important and uniquely composed source of nutrition to babies and an elimination route of chemical contaminants for the maternal body. It may therefore contain chemicals to which the mother has been exposed; chemicals which may be associated with unfavourable health outcomes in the nursing children. In a public health perspective, it is of great interest to gain more knowledge about associations both between maternal exposure to chemicals and presence of chemicals in breast milk, and between presence of chemicals in breast milk and potential health outcomes in breastfed children in order to give recommendations regarding breastfeeding and to apply other preventive measures. Sea food is known to be an important source of chemical contaminants, and in this study, concentrations for a broad selection of lipid soluble POPs and PFAS in human breast milk samples were measured in a laboratory. In addition, statistical analysis was performed to look for an association between maternal sea food intake and PFOS levels in breast milk. Several different POPs and PFAS were found in all samples. A statistically significant positive association with maternal sea food consumption and PFOS levels in breast milk was found in a bivariate analysis for crabs, with breaking point at 2 annually crab meals (p = 0.0114), but not for lean fish, fatty fish and total fish consumption. This positive association was also seen in the regression analysis adjusted for confounders, however not statistically significant (β = 0.49, p = 0.341) Statistically significant associations were also found for the confounders maternal age, education and birth year.

Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the associations of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour in early childhood with asthma and reduced lung function in later childhood within a large collaborative study., Design: Pooling of longitudinal data from collaborating birth cohorts using meta-analysis of separate cohort-specific estimates and analysis of individual participant data of all cohorts combined., Setting: Children aged 0-18 years from 26 European birth cohorts., Participants: 136 071 individual children from 26 cohorts, with information on PA and/or sedentary behaviour in early childhood and asthma assessment in later childhood., Main Outcome Measure: Questionnaire-based current asthma and lung function measured by spirometry (forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 ), FEV 1 /forced vital capacity) at age 6-18 years., Results: Questionnaire-based and accelerometry-based PA and sedentary behaviour at age 3-5 years was not associated with asthma at age 6-18 years (PA in hours/day adjusted OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.04; sedentary behaviour in hours/day adjusted OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.07). PA was not associated with lung function at any age. Analyses of sedentary behaviour and lung function showed inconsistent results., Conclusions: Reduced PA and increased sedentary behaviour before 6 years of age were not associated with the presence of asthma later in childhood., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.
