Co-Authored by Brian & Bonnie Hershey The Chicago Tribune recently published the results of a study that sought to identify potential risk factors contributing to childhood obesity.

The authors suggest that the childhood risk factors are important indicators of COPD risk, that are aggravated by smoking and having asthma in adulthood.

For childhood cancer survivors, risk factors associated with lifestyle, particularly hypertension, dramatically increase the likelihood of developing serious heart problems as adults, according to a national study led by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Mothers were eligible to participate if they did not require the use of an interpreter, and reported one or more of the following risk factors for poor maternal or child outcomes in their responses to routine standardised psychosocial and domestic violence screening conducted by midwives for every mother booking in to the local hospital for confinement: maternal age under 19 years; current probable distress (assessed as an Edinburgh Depression Scale (EDS) 17 score of 10 or more)(as a lower cut - off score was used than the antenatal validated cut - off score for depression, the term «distress» is used rather than «depression»; use of this cut - off to indicate those distressed approximated the subgroups labelled in other trials as «psychologically vulnerable» or as having «low psychological resources» 14); lack of emotional and practical support; late antenatal care (after 20 weeks gestation); major stressors in the past 12 months; current substance misuse; current or history of mental health problem or disorder; history of abuse in mother's own childhood; and history of domestic violence.

Distribution of Sociodemographic Characteristics and Potential Risk Factors for Childhood Obesity by Severity of Maternal Intimate Partner Violence

The enduring consequences of adverse childhood experiences were not explained by established developmental or concurrent risk factors.

Relative to children with no ACEs, children who experienced ACEs had increased odds of having below - average academic skills including poor literacy skills, as well as attention problems, social problems, and aggression, placing them at significant risk for poor school achievement, which is associated with poor health.23 Our study adds to the growing literature on adverse outcomes associated with ACEs3 — 9,24 — 28 by pointing to ACEs during early childhood as a risk factor for child academic and behavioral problems that have implications for education and health trajectories, as well as achievement gaps and health disparities.

Some observers have argued that female offenders can, in theory, be either adolescent - limited or life - course - persistent and that the relative scarcity of early - onset aggression in females indicates that they are generally less likely to follow the latter pathway.56 Others, however, have argued that the relative prevalence of adolescent - onset aggression in girls (compared with childhood - onset) indicates that persistent delinquency simply manifests at a later age in girls than it does in boys.57 In Persephanie Silverthorn and Paul Frick's model, girls and boys are influenced by similar risk factors during childhood, but the onset of delinquent behavior in girls is delayed by the more stringent social controls imposed on them before adolescence.

Parenting skills and a variety of family risk factors are influenced by the effects of disadvantage, meaning that Indigenous children are more likely to miss out on the crucial early childhood development opportunities that are required for positive social, educational, health and employment outcomes later in life.

If some of these factors in early childhood can be identified early, the effects of risk factors can be moderated by building protective factors that aid children's resilience and development.

It may be possible to develop improved interventions for individuals who are at high risk for suicide by identifying combinations of risk factors that are associated with the onset of suicidal behavior.2 Prospective epidemiological research can facilitate the identification of such patterns by assessing a wide range of childhood adversities, interpersonal difficulties during middle adolescence, and suicidal behavior during late adolescence and adulthood.

This could be an artifact caused by premature mortality in people with multiple adverse childhood exposures; the clustering of multiple risk factors among people with multiple childhood exposures is consistent with this hypothesis.29 Thus, this potential weakness may have resulted in underestimates of the true relationships between ACEs and the illicit drug use outcomes.41

Another potential pathway linking childhood adversity to adult homelessness is the likelihood that such adversity elevates individuals» risk for psychiatric disorders such as depression and substance abuse, which are risk factors for homelessness, by reducing one's ability to earn adequate income and maintain stable housing.

Thus, the observed associations between juvenile - onset and early childhood risk factors were not caused by high - risk families selectively coming to clinical attention.

The first 5 years of life are critical for the development of language and cognitive skills.1 By kindergarten entry, steep social gradients in reading and math ability, with successively poorer outcomes for children in families of lower social class, are already apparent.2 — 4 Early cognitive ability is, in turn, predictive of later school performance, educational attainment, and health in adulthood5 — 7 and may serve as a marker for the quality of early brain development and a mechanism for the transmission of future health inequalities.8 Early life represents a time period of most equality and yet, beginning with in utero conditions and extending through early childhood, a wide range of socially stratified risk and protective factors may begin to place children on different trajectories of cognitive development.9, 10

A recent investigation from the UK Millennium Cohort Study found that a variety of parenting, home learning, and early education factors explained a small portion of the socioeconomic status (SES) gradients in children's cognitive ability by age 5.2 Although some US studies have examined selected factors at different stages of childhood, 24 — 27 few have had comprehensive data to examine the socioeconomic distribution of a wide variety of risk and protective factors across early childhood and their role as potential independent mediators of the SES gradients in cognitive ability at kindergarten entry.

Likewise, beginning in utero and extending throughout early childhood, key risk and protective factors for children's cognitive development show steep gradients by SES.

This issue brief explores how home visiting programs — specifically, evidence - based programs funded by the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program — address three key maternal risk factors that directly influence maternal and child health and disproportionately affect mothers who participate in home visiting: postpartum depression, domestic violence, and tobacco use.

Using a short - term longitudinal design, internalizing and externalizing emotions were examined as risk factors for being victimized by peers in early childhood.

Another risk factor of paternal PPD could be the absence of a good paternal model: Barclay and Lupton evidenced that a lot of new - fathers who lived emotional difficult after childbirth had lived a sad childhood characterized by the absence (real o subjective) of their father.62 In this way, these men did not know parenting competence and, when they became father, live fear, insecurity, turmoil that could lead them to PPD.

During childhood, both LCP females and males were characterized by social, familial and neurodevelopmental risk factors, whereas those on the adolescent - onset pathway were not.

In this study, we fill this knowledge gap by examining whether early risk factors shown to characterise childhood - onset CP discriminate among gender - specific CP trajectories from ages 3 to 11.

In terms of gender differences in childhood - onset CP, research has generally found few consistent risk factors that are moderated by gender (Brennan and Shaw 2013; Murray et al. 2010).
