From: Maternal stress or sleep during pregnancy are not reflected on telomere length of newborns
Maternal prenatal factors and their association with Child’s Telomere length at birth. (a) Association between maternal depression (p = 0.87) and child’s TL at birth. (b) Association between maternal anxiety (p = 0.04) and child’s TL at birth. (c) Association between maternal stress (p = 0.85) and child’s TL at birth. (d) Association between maternal BMI (p = 0.04) and child’s TL at birth. (e) Association between Maternal sleep (p = 0.65) and Child’s TL at birth. Linear regression lines: DotDashline(.-.-.-.-) = all, Dashed line(---) = Males, Solid line (___) females. BNSQ = Basic Nordic Sleep questionnaire; CES-D = Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale; STAI = Short version of State and Trait anxiety Scale,Trait version;PSS = Perceived Stress Scale; BMI = Height in meters/weight2; LTL = relative leukocyte telomere length.
