| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The longitudinal ‘Ibaraki Cohort’ study was conducted aiming to clarify the influence of social and physical environmental factors on parenting and children’s development. Forty mothers and their children out of two hundred Ibaraki Cohort study registrants(ranging from the fetus period to infancy) participated in the physiological study. The mothers were asked to collect saliva four times in a day periodically, in order to extract physiological indices (cortisol/oxytocin).The results revealed that the cortisol secretion pattern in pregnancy had similarity to the one in non-pregnancy, and higher Cortisol awakening response was related to higher QOL score in pregnancy. In addition, there were relationships between maternal cortisol secretion in pregnancy and children’s social development (responsiveness) and temperament(surgency) in infancy. The results were discussed from the point of view of predictive adaptive responses.
