Higher ultraviolet radiation during early life is associated with lower risk of childhood type 1 diabetes among boysPopulation-level ecological studies show type 1 diabetes incidence is inversely correlated with ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR) levels. We conducted a nested case–control study using administrative datasets to test this association at the individual level.

In utero exposure to low dose arsenic via drinking water impairs early life lung mechanics in miceAll alterations to lung mechanics following in utero arsenic exposure were recovered by adulthood.

Understanding Diabetes: Early environmental determinants of pancreatic islet autoimmunity: a pregnancy to early life cohort study in children at risk of type 1 diabetesThis study is looking for the causes of type 1 diabetes, so that we can find ways to prevent it. We will follow many women around Australia during pregnancy until early childhood, looking at the child's birth, environment and genes.

Intra-breath measures of respiratory mechanics in healthy African infants detect risk of respiratory illness in early lifeIntra-breath forced oscillation technique can identify healthy infants at risk of developing LRTI, wheezing or severe illness in the first year of life

The Impact of Modulator therapy from Early life on lung health trajectories in Cystic Fibrosis (TIME-CF)Cystic fibrosis is an inherited condition that results in chronic lung disease. In recent years, a new type of medication called CFTR modulators has become available.

Cohort description: Measures of early-life behaviour and later psychopathology in the LifeCycle Project - EU Child Cohort NetworkThe EU LifeCycle Project was launched in 2017 to combine, harmonise, and analyse data from more than 250,000 participants across Europe and Australia, involving cohorts participating in the EU-funded LifeCycle Project. The purpose of this cohort description is to provide a detailed overview over the major measures within mental health domains that are available in 17 European and Australian cohorts participating in the LifeCycle Project.

Early life predictors of obstructive sleep apnoea in young adults: Insights from a longitudinal community cohort (Raine study)Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases the risk of perioperative adverse events in children. While polysomnography (PSG) remains the reference standard for OSA diagnosis, oximetry is a valuable screening tool. The traditional practice is the manual analysis of desaturation clusters derived from a tabletop device using the McGill oximetry score. However, automated analysis of wearable oximetry data can be an alternative. This study investigated the accuracy of wrist-worn oximetry with automated analysis as a preoperative OSA screening tool.

How well can poor child development be predicted from early life characteristics? A whole-of-population data linkage studyA targeted program would have the potential to prevent one-quarter of the cases of being vulnerable on two or more AEDC domains at age five
