Smoking in pregnancy tied to kids' behavior issues

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - There seems to be a link between maternal smoking during pregnancy and behavioral problems in preschool-age children.

A study published in the journal Child Development found that two-year-olds whose mothers smoked regularly while they were pregnant were significantly more likely to exhibit an abnormal pattern of behavior over time compared to age-matched toddlers who were not exposed to cigarette smoke before birth. While many toddlers exhibit mild behavioral problems during the "terrible twos," the behavior problems of cigarette-exposed toddlers significantly increased between 18 and 24 months of age compared to the milder, more stable patterns of non-exposed toddlers.

"These findings suggest that for some children the roots of problem behavior may occur before they are born," said Lauren Wakschlag, of the University of Illinois at Chicago and lead author of the study.

Wakschlag and colleagues studied 93 children between 12 and 24 months of age. Forty-four children were exposed to cigarette smoke before birth. Nearly half of mothers who smoked during pregnancy smoked more than half-a-pack a day.

The Chicago team observed markedly different behavior patterns among cigarette-exposed and non-exposed toddlers. Exposed toddlers exhibited "escalating externalizing problems" from 18 to 24 months of age and had difficulty modulating their behavior in response to social cues.

"This is in contrast to the non-exposed toddlers in whom externalizing behaviors exhibited a plateau or decline that is typical of this developmental period," Wakschlag's team notes.

Compared with non-exposed kids, those born to smoking mothers exhibited "qualitatively different behaviors," according to the authors. They displayed increased levels of stubborn defiance, aggression, and had poorer social skills.

The current findings "expand upon consistent evidence" that maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with increased likelihood of kids having behavioral problems. It does not, however, prove that smoking during pregnancy causes these problems.

Diabetes increasingly prevalent in heart failure

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The prevalence of diabetes is increasing among older persons with heart failure, and diabetes is a significant independent risk factor for death in these individuals.

The findings, appearing in The American Journal of Medicine, underscore the importance of tight control of diabetes, researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, assert.

Dr. Aaron M. From and associates analyzed a random group of 665 people living independently in Olmstead County who were first diagnosed with heart failure between 1979 and 1999. The average age of these individuals was 77 years and 20 percent had a pre-existing diagnosis of diabetes.

 

Those with diabetes tended to be younger and weighed more than heart failure patients without diabetes. They also had lower left ventricular ejection fractions -- a measure of the heart's blood-pumping power.The prevalence of diabetes increased 3.8 percent per year. The odds of having diabetes for those first diagnosed with heart failure in 1999 was nearly four times higher than those diagnosed 20 years earlier in 1979.

Five-year survival was 46 percent for those with heart failure alone, but only 37 percent for those with heart failure and diabetes.

Counterintuitively, subjects with diabetes and no coronary artery disease had a significantly higher risk of death than those with diabetes and coronary disease, compared to patients with neither diabetes nor heart disease. The authors suggest this finding may reflect under-recognition of heart disease in diabetic subjects.The increasing prevalence of diabetes and its associated increase in risk of death "delineates a substantial opportunity to improve the outcome of heart failure by preventing diabetes and, once present, by aggressively evaluating and treating it," From and colleagues conclude.
