From: Poverty from fetal life onward and child brain morphology
Mediating role of cerebral white matter volumes on the association between exposure to childhood poverty and school performance in children from Dutch majority group. Total sample: n = 1365. Model adjusted for: poverty → cerebral white matter volume: child age at brain measurement, child sex, maternal education at pregnancy, maternal IQ, maternal and paternal psychiatric symptoms at pregnancy; cerebral white matter volume → school performance: child age at CITO assessment, child age at brain measurement, child sex, maternal education at pregnancy, maternal IQ, maternal and paternal psychiatric symptoms at pregnancy; poverty → school performance: child age at CITO assessment, child sex, maternal education at pregnancy, maternal IQ, maternal and paternal psychiatric symptoms at pregnancy. CITO score was derived from a mandatory academic test conducted in the final grade of primary school and a proxy of school performance. Higher score indicates higher levels of school performance.
