O1B.3 Hyperactivity disorder in children was related to maternal employment status during pregnancy and postpartum depressive symptoms: a prospective cohort study

BackgroundAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders globally. Although some investigations implied a relationship between ADHD and maternal psychosocial stress exposure during pregnancy, little is known about the effects of maternal occupational exposure and even postpartum mental health. This study aimed to investigate whether maternal employment status during pregnancy and postpartum depressive symptoms are related to offspring hyperactivity, one of the key early symptoms of children ADHD.MethodsTaiwan Birth Cohort Study recruited representative mother-infant pairs, as a result of approximately 12% of all deliveries in 2005 using multistage stratified sampling. Employment status with or without job stress during pregnancy and postpartum depressive symptoms were inquired when the child was six months of age by face-to-face interview. Ever having hyperactivity syndrome as evaluated by physicians, psychologists, or special educators was inquired when the child was eight years of age. Factors of hyperactivity, including maternal employment, job stress, and postpartum depression were studied by adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) using logistic regression, adjusting for gender, urban/rural residence, birth season and household income.Results18 215 mother-infant pairs were included in the final analysis, where 421 (2.3%) of children had been diagnosed as having hyperactivity before 8 years of age. Comparing to mothers employed and without job stress during pregnancy, the aOR (95% CI) of child hyperactivity was 1.47 (95%CI: 1.12, 1.94) for mothers with job stress and 1.43 (95%CI: 1.12, 1.84) for mothers with no employment during pregnancy, respectively. Besides, children were 1.36 (95% CI: 1.07, 1.73) times more likely to receive an ADHD diagnosis if their mother experienced postpartum depressive symptoms.ConclusionsIn this prospective birth cohort study, mothers’ employment status, job stress during pregnancy, and postpartum depressive symptoms were risk factors for the occurrence of hyperactivity in their children.

Maternal Depressive Symptoms

Abstract Background This longitudinal study explored the relationship between trajectories of maternal depressive symptoms and offspring’s risk behavior in adolescence contributing to an extremely scarce literature about the impacts of maternal depression trajectories on offspring risk behaviors. Methods We included 3437 11-year-old adolescents from the 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort Study. Trajectories of maternal depressive symptoms were constructed using Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EDPS) from age 3 months to 11 years. We identified five trajectories of maternal depressive symptoms: “low” “moderate low”, “increasing”, “decreasing”, and “chronic high”. The following adolescent outcomes were identified via self-report questionnaire and analyzed as binary outcome –yes/no: involvement in fights and alcohol use at age 11. We used logistic regression models to examine the effects of trajectories of maternal depressive symptoms on offspring’s risk behavior adjusting for potential confounding variable. Results Alcohol use and/or abuse as well as involvement in fights during adolescence, were not significantly associated with any specific trajectory of maternal depressive symptoms neither in the crude nor in the adjusted analyses. Conclusion Alcohol use and involvement in fights at age 11 were not associated with any specific trajectory of maternal depression.

Fat Mass Index

Abstract Background There is an existing link between two of the most common diseases, obesity and depression. These are both of great public health concern, but little is known about the relationships between the subtypes of these conditions. We hypothesized that non-melancholic depressive symptoms have a stronger relationship with both body composition (lean mass and fat mass) and dysfunctional glucose metabolism than melancholic depression. Methods For this cross-sectional study 1 510 participants from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study had their body composition evaluated as lean mass and fat mass (Lean Mass Index + Fat Mass Index = Body Mass Index). Participants were evaluated for depressive symptoms utilizing the Beck Depression Inventory, and had laboratory assessments including an oral glucose tolerance test. Results Higher than average Fat Mass Index (kg/m2) was associated with a higher percentage of participants scoring in the depressive range of the Beck Depression Inventory (p=0.048). Higher Fat Mass Index was associated with a higher likelihood of having depressive symptoms (OR per 1-SD Fat Mass Index=1.37, 95% CI: 1.13-1.65), whereas higher Lean Mass Index (kg/m2) was associated with a lower likelihood of having depressive symptoms (OR per 1-SD Lean Mass Index=0.76, 95% CI: 0.64-0.91). Participants with an above average Fat Mass Index more frequently had non-melancholic depressive symptoms (p=0.008) regardless of Lean Mass Index levels (p=0.38). There was no difference between the body composition groups in the likelihood of having melancholic depressive symptoms (Fat Mass Index p=0.83, Lean Mass Index p=0.93). The non-melancholic group had higher Fat Mass Index than either of the other groups (p<0.001), and a higher 2-hour glucose concentration than the non-depressed group (p=0.005). Conclusion As hypothesized, non-melancholic depressive symptoms are most closely related to high fat mass index and dysfunctional glucose metabolism.
