prenatal stress and maternal weight gain on offspring mental and physical health. SEED has enrolled 180 women, recruited from the Maternal Adiposity, Metabolism, and Stress (<a href="http://mamasstudy.com/">MAMAS</a>) study, a controlled trial of a mindfulness-based small-group intervention to reduce stress and prevent excess weight gain during pregnancy.</p> <article about="/seed-stress-eating-and-early-development-study" role="article" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document"> <p>Environmental influences during the first years of life, beginning in the womb, are strong determinants for later life health. Accumulating evidence from prenatal programming and developmental research shows how early life stress and poor nutrition can affect health across the life course. We examine how offspring body composition, temperament, emotion regulation, and executive function develop over the first four years of life, and whether those babies born to women in the intervention group develop more optimally than those born to women from a "treatment as usual" group.</p> <p>The SEED team has recently completed the third wave of assessments with children aged 18 months and is beginning to see participants for the fourth wave. Results from the study are just emerging--stay tuned for updates on findings and publications!</p> <p><a href="http://bushlab.ucsf.edu/seed-stress-eating-and-early-development-study">http://bushlab.ucsf.edu/seed-stress-eating-and-early-development-study</a></p> </article> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="column"> </div> </div></div> <div id="footer"> <div class="section"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-block-11" class="block block-block"> <div class="content"> <div class="wysiwyg_threecols layout--33-33-33"> <div class="wysiwyg_threecols--first bg--undefined"> <p><span></span><span></span><strong><span>Center for Health and<em> </em>Community</span></strong><br /> 675 18th St.<br /> UCSF Pritzker Psychiatry Building<br /> San Francisco, CA 94107</p> </div> <div class="wysiwyg_threecols--second bg--undefined"> <p style="margin-left: 40px;">Phone: 415-476-7408<br /> Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="8fece7eccffaecfce9a1eaebfa">[email protected]</a></p> </div> <div class="wysiwyg_threecols--third bg--undefined"> <p>To sign up for the CHC listserv email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f99a919ab98c9a8a9fd79c9d8c">[email protected]</a></p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-bottom"> <nav aria-label="Footer Navigation" class="footer--navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#abdccec9d8ced9ddc2c8ced886c5c4d9cedbc7d2ebdec8d8cd85cecfde">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/accessibility-resources">Accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/website-privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/website-terms-use">Terms of Use </a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/azlist">A-Z Website List</a></li> </ul> </nav> <div class="footer--copyright"> <p>© 2024 The Regents of the University of California</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script data-cfasync="false" src="/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> /*<![CDATA[*/ (function() { var sz = document.createElement('script'); sz.type = 'text/javascript'; sz.async = true; sz.src = '//siteimproveanalytics.com/js/siteanalyze_8343.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(sz, s); })(); /*]]>*/ </script> </body> </html>
