Early-life environmental exposures linked to multiple health outcomes into adolescence

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20261113/Early-life-environmental-exposures-linked-to-multiple-health-outcomes-into-adolescence.aspx Environmental exposures during pregnancy and childhood can be associated with multiple aspects of health at the same time, with many of these associations persisting into adolescence health, according to a new study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), a centre supported by the "la Caixa" Foundation, and in collaboration with the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (Inserm). Published in Science Advances as part of the Human Early Life Exposome (HELIX) project, the study provides an atlas of associations between early-life environmental exposures and health, highlighting factors such as tobacco smoke, indoor air pollution, dietary quality and features of the built environment that may be relevant for prevention and policy action.
