Maternal diet not only provides essential nutrients to the developing fetus but is also a source of prenatal exposure to environmental contaminants. We investigated the association between dietary intake of dioxins and PCBs during pregnancy and birth size. The study included 50,651 women from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa). Dietary information was collected by FFQs and intake estimates were calculated by combining food consumption and food concentration of dioxins, dioxin-like PCBs and non-dioxin-like PCBs. We used multivariable regression models to estimate the association between dietary intake of dioxins and PCBs and fetal growth. The contribution of fish and seafood intake during pregnancy was 41% for dietary dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs and 49% for dietary non-dioxin-like PCBs. Further stratified analysis by quartiles of seafood intake during pregnancy was conducted. We found an inverse dose-response association between dietary intake of dioxins and PCBs and fetal growth after adjustment for confounders. Newborns of mothers in the upper quartile of dioxin and dioxin-like PCBs intake had 62g lower birth weight (95% CI: -73, -50), 0.26cm shorter birth length (95% CI: -0.31, -0.20) and 0.10cm shorter head circumference (95% CI: -0.14, -0.06) than newborns of mothers in the lowest quartile of intake. Similar negative associations for intake of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs were found after excluding women with intakes above the tolerable weekly intake (TWI=14pg TEQ/kg bw/week). The negative association of dietary dioxins and PCBs with fetal growth was weaker as seafood intake was increasing. No association was found between dietary dioxin and PCB intake and the risk for small-for-gestational age neonate. In conclusion, dietary intakes of dioxins and PCBs during pregnancy were negatively associated with fetal growth, even at intakes below the TWI.
母体饮食不仅为发育中的胎儿提供必需的营养,还是其产前接触环境污染物的一个来源。我们研究了孕期母体摄入二恶英和多氯联苯(PCBs)与出生大小的关系。这项研究纳入了挪威母亲和儿童队列研究(MoBa)中的 50651 名女性。通过 FFQ 收集饮食信息,通过结合食物消耗和二恶英、类二恶英 PCB 和非类二恶英 PCB 的食物浓度来计算摄入量估计值。我们使用多变量回归模型来估计母体饮食中二恶英和 PCBs 与胎儿生长之间的关系。孕期摄入鱼类和海鲜对膳食二恶英和类二恶英 PCB 的贡献分别为 41%,对膳食非类二恶英 PCB 的贡献为 49%。我们进一步按孕期海鲜摄入量四分位数进行分层分析。在调整了混杂因素后,我们发现母体饮食中二恶英和 PCBs 与胎儿生长之间呈负相关剂量反应关系。在最高四分位数摄入二恶英和类二恶英 PCB 的母亲所生的新生儿体重比最低四分位数摄入的母亲所生的新生儿低 62g(95%CI:-73,-50),出生体长低 0.26cm(95%CI:-0.31,-0.20),头围小 0.10cm(95%CI:-0.14,-0.06)。在排除了摄入量超过每周耐受摄入量(TWI=14pg TEQ/kg bw/week)的女性后,发现对二恶英和类二恶英 PCB 摄入也有类似的负相关。随着海鲜摄入量的增加,膳食中二恶英和 PCBs 与胎儿生长之间的负相关减弱。未发现膳食二恶英和 PCB 摄入与小于胎龄儿风险之间存在关联。总之,即使在低于 TWI 的摄入量下,孕期母体摄入二恶英和 PCBs 与胎儿生长呈负相关。
