Lower maternal folate status in early pregnancy is associated with childhood hyperactivity and peer problems in offspring (2009)

Schlotz, Wolff, Jones, Alexander, Phillips, David I.W., Gale, Catharine R., Robinson, Sian M., Godfrey, Keith M.

Background: Maternal nutrition during pregnancy has been linked with fetal brain development and psychopathology in the offspring. We examined for associations of maternal folate status and dietary...

Breast-feeding and adherence to infant feeding guidelines do not influence bone mass at age 4 years (2009)

Harvey, Nicholas C., Robinson, Sian M., Crozier, Sarah R., Marriott, Lynne D., Gale, Catharine R., Cole, Zoe A., ...

The impact of variations in current infant feeding practice on bone mineral accrual is not known. We examined the associations between duration of breast-feeding and compliance with infant dietary...

Maternal size in pregnancy and body composition in children (2007)

Gale, Catharine R., Javaid, M. Kassim, Robinson, Sian M., Law, Catherine M., Godfrey, Keith M., Cooper, Cyrus

Context: Evidence suggests that babies' fat mass at birth is greater if their mothers were themselves fatter during pregnancy, but it is unclear whether this association persists into childhood....

Maternal diet during pregnancy and carotid intima-media thickness in children (2006)

Gale, Catharine R., Jiang, Benyu, Robinson, Sian M., Godfrey, Keith M., Law, Catherine M., Martyn, Christopher N.
