Our findings suggest that the inverse association of birthweight with hypertension risk from observational studies was not supported by large Mendelian randomization analyses.]]> Wed 22 Mar 2023 14:30:25 AEDT ]]> What birthweight percentile is associated with optimal perinatal mortality and childhood education outcomes? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32091 Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:04:13 AEST ]]> A case for not adjusting birthweight customized standards for ethnicity: observations from a unique Australian cohort https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44624 P<.0001; with adjustment for infant sex and maternal body mass index). Indigenous mean birthweight percentile was 4.2 units lower (P<.0001). Adjustment for maternal age, smoking, body mass index, and infant sex reduced the difference in birthweight/percentiles to nonsignificance (12 g; P=.07). Conclusion: Disparities exist between indigenous and non-indigenous Australian infants for birthweight, birthweight percentile, and adverse outcome rates. Adjustment for smoking and maternal age removed any significant difference in birthweights and birthweight percentiles for indigenous infants. Our data indicate that birthweight percentiles should not be adjusted for indigenous ethnicity because this normalizes disadvantage; because White and indigenous Australians have diverged for approximately 50,000 years, it is likely that the same conclusions apply to other ethnic groups. The disparities in birthweight percentiles that are associated with smoking will likely perpetuate indigenous disadvantage into the future because low birthweight is linked to the development of chronic noncommunicable disease and poorer educational attainment; similar problems may affect other indigenous populations.]]> Tue 18 Oct 2022 11:09:49 AEDT ]]> The effect of cigarette smoking on asthma control during exacerbations in pregnant women https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9359 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:36:32 AEDT ]]> Fetal growth and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: results from an Australian case-control study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7623 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:34:43 AEDT ]]> Weight catch-up and achieved schooling at 18 years of age in Brazilian males https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8271 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:33:28 AEDT ]]> The association between birth weight and proxy-reported health-related quality of life among children aged 5 − 10 years old: A linked data analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49944 Fri 16 Jun 2023 11:15:41 AEST ]]>
