- Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure during early life may increase risk of childhood obesity, however, prospective evidence of birth cohort is limited and inconclusive. We aimed to explore the associations of maternal and childhood BPA exposure with child adiposity measures, including body mass index, waist circumference and skinfold thickness and waist to height ratio of children at 7 years. 430 mother-child pairs were examined from a population-based prospective cohort in a rural area of East China. BPA concentrations of spot urine samples were quantified in mothers and their children aged 3 and 7 years. Maternal urinary BPA concentration was significantly positively associated with waist circumference in children aged 7 years (β = 0.508 cm, 95% CI: 0.067, 0.950). These significant associations were not modified by child sex, but they were only observed among girls in sex-stratified analyses. Risk of central obesity related to prenatal BPA exposure was significantly higher in the second and the third tertile than those in the first tertile (odds ratio, OR = 2.510, 95% CI = 1.146, 5.499; OR = 2.584, 95% CI = 1.186, 5.631, respectively; p for trend = 0.022). The present findings suggested that prenatal exposure to BPA may enhance waist circumference of children and thereby increase risk of central obesity in school-age girls.

- Background: Coeliac disease has been linked to anxiety and depression. However, their association with mucosal healing is unknown.Aim: To examine the relationship between anxiety, depression and mucosal healing in coeliac disease.Methods: Between 1969 and 2008, we collected data on all small intestinal biopsies with villous atrophy from Sweden's 28 pathology departments. We restricted our cohort to individuals with data on follow-up biopsy (either persistent villous atrophy [n = 3317] or mucosal healing [n = 4331]). Through Cox regression, we estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for anxiety or depression.Results: Conclusion APPENDIX During follow-up, 123 (2.8/1000 person-years) individuals with mucosal healing had developed anxiety, compared to 94 (2.1/1000 person-years) with persistent villous atrophy. Mucosal healing was hence associated with a higher risk of future anxiety (HR = 1.49; 95% CI = 1.12-1.96). Similarly, 167 (3.8/1000 person-years) individuals with mucosal healing developed depression, compared to 148 (3.3/1000 person-years) with persistent villous atrophy, corresponding to a HR of 1.25 (95% CI = 0.99-1.59). Mucosal healing was more common in individuals with prior diagnoses of anxiety or depression before follow-up biopsy. Anxiety diagnosed between diagnostic and follow-up biopsy for coeliac disease was associated with an almost nine-fold increased chance of mucosal healing (odds ratio = 8.94; 95%CI = 2.03-39.27).Conclusion: Anxiety and depression are more common in coeliac disease patients with mucosal healing, both before and after follow-up biopsy, an association potentially mediated through more vigilant compliance with a gluten-free diet. This finding raises concern that achieving the goal of mucosal healing may come at a cost of an increased risk of mood disorders.
