Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, detailed child anthropocentric measurements including skinfold thickness, body fat and blood pressure, were conducted for those who attended a follow-up study of prospective birth cohort study. Prenatal exposure to phthalates was assessed using maternal blood of the 1st trimester. This study found that exposure to DEHP and DBP during pregnancy may decrease cord leptin levels. DEHP exposure was negatively associated with ponderal index in girls and this could be due to decreased cord leptin level. In addition, decreased cord leptin level was associated with an increased risk of child behavioral problems at preschool age.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
これまでわが国においては、胎児期の環境化学物質曝露と生後の子どもの発育や体格について、十分に検討されてこなかったが、本研究では初めて胎児期のフタル酸エステル類曝露と子どもの体格や肥満などの関係を、複数の指標(BMI、皮下脂肪、体脂肪、血圧など)を用いて検討した。本研究から、肥満や代謝に関係するバイオマーカーと環境化学物質の濃度が関係することが明らかとなり、今後も継続的に子どもの成長において発育や体格の追跡調査が必要であることを示唆した。
