Associations of Maternal Cell-Phone Use During Pregnancy With Pregnancy Duration and Fetal Growth in 4 Birth Cohorts
(Oxford University Press, 2019-04-17)Results from studies evaluating potential effects of prenatal exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields from cell phones on birth outcomes have been inconsistent. Using data on 55,507 pregnant women and their ... -
Associations of residential greenspace exposure and fetal growth across four areas in Spain
(Elsevier, 2022-11)An accumulating body of evidence has associated exposure to greenspace with improved birth outcomes, including higher birth weight and lower risk of low birth weight; however, evidence on such association with in-utero ... -
Characterisation of Exposure to Non-Ionising Electromagnetic Fields in the Spanish INMA Birth Cohort: Study Protocol
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Aurrekoetxea Agirre, Juan José
; ; ; González Estévez, Julián María ; ; (Biomed Central, 2016-02-18)
Background: Analysis of the association between exposure to electromagnetic fields of non-ionising radiation (EMF-NIR) and health in children and adolescents is hindered by the limited availability of data, mainly due to ... -
Determinants of self-reported smoking and misclassification during pregnancy, and analysis of optimal cut-off points for urinary cotinine: a cross-sectional study
Aurrekoetxea Agirre, Juan José; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (BMJ Publishing Group, 2013-01-24)
Objectives: To estimate the prevalence and factors associated with smoking and misclassification in pregnant women from INMA (INfancia y Medio Ambiente, Environment and Childhood) project, Spain, and to assess the optimal ... -
Exposure to metals and metalloids among pregnant women from Spain: Levels and associated factors
(Elsevier, 2022-01)[EN] Background: Humans are regularly exposed to metals and metalloids present in air, water, food, soil and domestic materials. Most of them can cross the placental barrier and cause adverse impacts on the developing ... -
Human Early Life Exposome (HELIX) study: a European population-based exposome cohort
(BMJ, 2018-09)Purpose Essential to exposome research is the collection of data on many environmental exposures from different domains in the same subjects. The aim of the Human Early Life Exposome (HELIX) study was to measure and describe ... -
Influence of genetic polymorphisms on arsenic methylation efficiency during pregnancy: Evidence from a Spanish birth cohort
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Fernández Jiménez, Nora; ; ; (Elsevier, 2023-07-24)
Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is a widespread toxic metalloid. It is well-known that iAs metabolism and its toxicity are mediated by polymorphisms in AS3MT and other genes. However, studies during pregnancy are scarce. We aimed ... -
Maternal occupational exposures and fetal growth in a Spanish birth cohort
(Public Library Science, 2022-04-07)While the epidemiologic literature suggests certain maternal occupational exposures may be associated with reduced measures of size at birth, the occupational literature employing fetal biometry data to assess fetal growth ... -
Prenatal and postnatal exposure to air pollution and emotional and aggressive symptoms in children from 8 European birth cohorts
(Elsevier, 2019-07-18)Background: The association between air pollution exposure and emotional and behavioural problems in children is unclear. We aimed to assess prenatal and postnatal exposure to several air pollutants and child's depressive ... -
Prenatal exposure to fluoride and neuropsychological development in early childhood: 1-to 4 years old children
(Elsevier, 2022-05-01)[EN]BACKGROUND: Cross-sectional and prospective studies have provided evidence of the neurotoxic effect of early exposure to fluoride (F) in pregnancy. It has been negatively associated with cognitive development during ... -
Serum metal levels in a population of Spanish pregnant women
(Elsevier, 2022-09)Objective: To describe serum levels of calcium, copper, selenium, magnesium, iron and zinc and evaluate their relationship with maternal socio-demographic characteristics and dietary variables in women in the first trimester ... -
Time Trends in Serum Organochlorine Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in the General Population of Biscay, Spain
; Aurrekoetxea Agirre, Juan José; ; ; ; ; (Springer, 2015-01)
Despite the measures adopted, levels of organochlorine compounds (OCs) are still being detected in the human body. This study aimed to explore factors related to changes in the concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls ... -
Urinary Arsenic Species and Methylation Efficiency During Pregnancy: Concentrations and Associated Factors in Spanish Pregnant Women
(Elsevier, 2021-05)Background: Arsenic (As) is considered to be toxic for humans, the main routes of exposure being through drinking water and the diet. Once ingested, inorganic arsenic can be methylated sequentially to monomethyl and dimethyl ...
