چکیده

OBJECTIVE The authors' goal was to investigate whether maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of nicotine dependence among adult offspring. METHOD Prospective data from two samples of offspring in the National Collaborative Perinatal Project, a long-term prospective investigation from pregnancy through adulthood, were combined (N=1,248). Maternal smoking during pregnancy was assessed during each prenatal visit. Offspring smoking behavior and lifetime risk of nicotine dependence were obtained by structured interview with the Diagnostic Interview Schedule; the mean age of the offspring at the time of interview was 29 years. RESULTS Offspring whose mothers reported smoking a pack or more of cigarettes during their pregnancy were significantly more likely to meet DSM criteria for lifetime tobacco dependence than offspring of mothers who reported that they never smoked during pregnancy. The odds of progressing from smoking to nicotine dependence were almost twice as great for offspring whose mothers smoked heavily during pregnancy. These significant differences remained after adjustments for participants' gender and age and maternal socioeconomic status and age at pregnancy. Results were comparable for men and women. The findings were specific for tobacco dependence; odds of marijuana dependence were not significantly elevated among the offspring of tobacco smokers. CONCLUSIONS Offspring of mothers who smoked a pack or more of cigarettes during pregnancy are at elevated risk of developing nicotine dependence but not marijuana dependence as adults. Maternal smoking during pregnancy is a risk factor for subsequent nicotine dependence among offspring.

Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy Predicts Adult Offspring Cardiovascular Risk Factors – Evidence from a Community-Based Large Birth Cohort Study

BACKGROUND Maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with offspring obesity. However, little is known about whether maternal smoking in pregnancy predicts other offspring cardiovascular risk factors including waist circumference (WC), waist-hip-ratio (WHR), pulse rate (PR), systolic (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). METHODS We studied a sub-sample of 2038 (50% males) young adul...

Maternal smoking during pregnancy and self-reported delinquency by offspring.

BACKGROUND Several studies have reported significant positive correlations between smoking during pregnancy by mothers and the involvement of their offspring in criminal/delinquent behaviour later in life, but these findings have been described as modest and the criminality based on official conviction statistics. AIMS We sought to verify this relationship and probe for more details on the ba...
