Air pollution and greenness are emerging as modifiable risk protective factors, respectively, in child psychopathology. However, research shows inconsistencies. Here, we examined associations between air surrounding with internalizing externalizing behaviors. In addition, the potential modifying role of genetic susceptibility for these traits socioeconomic status (SES) was explored. This population-based study included 4485 schoolchildren aged 5-18 years from Spain. Internalizing behaviors were assessed using Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Average (NO2, PM2.5, PM10, PMcoarse, PM2.5 absorbance) (NDVI within 100-m, 300-m, 500-m buffers) school exposure estimated 12 months before outcome assessment. Genetic liability by computing polygenic scores (PRS) SES calculated Hollingshead Four-Factor Index. Associations analyzed negative binomial mixed-effects models. Although no survived multiple testing, found that increases 5.48 μg/m3 PM10 2.93 PMcoarse associated a 6% (Mean Ratio (MR) = 1.06; 95% CI: 1.01-1.12) 4% (MR 1.04; 1.00-1.09) increase behavior scores.

China, home to over 250 million children, has witnessed remarkable economic development in recent decades, successfully addressing many issues related basic hygiene and sanitation thereby altering the childhood disease spectrum. However, emergence of environment-related disorders among children become a significant concern. Despite rapid accumulation scientific knowledge on adverse effects environmental pollution child health, availability children-specific protective strategies actions remains alarmingly low. This commentary synthesizes information viewpoints presented discussed by experts at International Forum Children's Environmental Health China. It summarizes proposed reduce exposure protect children's short- long-term health call for more children-centered evidence-action transformation. The following four specific were proposed: (1) strengthen education parents, caregivers, personal protection children; (2) monitor status; (3) set up child-specific interventions regulations; (4) conduct research environment exposures health.

The built physical and social environments are critical drivers of child neural cognitive development. This study aimed to identify the factor structure correlates 29 environmental, education, socioeconomic indicators neighborhood resources as measured by Child Opportunity Index 2.0 (COI 2.0) in a sample youths aged 9–10 enrolled Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. used baseline data ABCD Study (n = 9767, ages 9–10). We structural equation modeling investigate variables (e.g., quality including access early health insurance, walkability). externally validated these factors with measures psychopathology, impulsivity, behavioral activation inhibition. Exploratory analyses identified four factors: Neighborhood Enrichment, Socioeconomic Attainment, Education, Poverty Level. Attainment Education were associated overall reduced impulsivity system, whereas increased Level was externalizing symptoms, an aspects impulsivity. Distinct dimensions opportunity differentially approach, suggesting that may have unique impact on neurodevelopment cognition. can help inform future public efforts policy about improving natural environmental structures aid supporting emotional development downstream behaviors.

Importance The relationship of neighborhood environmental and socioeconomic factors with mental health across childhood adolescence remains unclear. Objective To investigate the associations characteristics at various developmental stages, from early to late adolescence. Design, Setting, Participants This population-based cohort study used data Millennium Cohort Study, including approximately 19 000 children born in UK 2000 2002. analysis included individuals England complete on exposures ages 3, 5, 7, 11, 14, 17 years. Data were analyzed January December 2023. Exposures Neighborhood-level air pollution, green space, status. Main Outcomes Measures Strengths Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) scores linked exposure status, measured participants’ residential addresses, using a hierarchical bayesian regression model. Hypotheses formulated after collection. Results sample 3595 adolescents, 1826 (50.5%) female; 3012 participants (83.8%) White 583 (16.2%) another ethnicity. mean (SD) SDQ score was 7.1 (5.1). After adjusting for individual household factors, status emerged as strongest factor associated health. Residing affluent neighborhoods improved health, this association magnifying through For same age, those most had log-transformed 0.73 (95% credible interval [CrI], 0.58 0.88) lower age years compared their peers deprived areas; 5 years, 0.31 CrI, 0.17 0.45) lower. Exposure particulate matter diameter less than 2.5 μm poorer during (age 3 years), an effect size 0.15 0.08 0.22). While space not directly sex-based difference observed, males showing more favorable (interaction, −0.10 [95% −0.17 −0.03]). Conclusions Relevance In between evolved These findings suggest that targeted interventions disadvantaged strategies protect young pollution are essential. A comprehensive approach is recommended incorporate only but also other settings, such schools.

More than 100 million children and 13% of the adult population suffer from obesity globally. People with experience higher risks chronic illness, poor mental health outcomes, premature death. Exposure to natural environments, including green spaces, encourages regular physical activity cardiovascular exercise combat obesity. This systematic review, based on lifestyle theory, explores previous research relationship between environments We reviewed studies (N = 11) published 2018 2023 examining participants 1,225,680) across seven countries. Two overarching areas impact emerged: environmental factors (air pollution) social (socioeconomic status food availability). Although many suggested that exposure spaces correlated a lower incidence obesity, few identified possible external explain space Implications for future policy legislation, clinical interventions, are presented.

Importance Nature-based therapeutic or preventive interventions for mental health are increasingly popular, but their effectiveness improving is not well documented. Objective To investigate the of Open Sky School Program (École à Ciel Ouvert), a 12-week nature-based intervention elementary schoolchildren in grades 5 and 6, reducing symptoms. Design, Setting, Participants This 2-arm, cluster randomized clinical trial was conducted from February 27 to June 16, 2023, French-language schools Quebec, Canada, with green space within 1 km. were teachers students 6. Intervention In group, 2 hours per week 12 weeks, classes taught outdoors nearby park wooded area. Teachers encouraged engage basic subjects 10 more activities (mindfulness, philosophy, and/or art therapy). Control group as usual. Main Outcomes Measures The primary outcome change student (internalizing externalizing symptoms, social problems) based on teacher- student-reported 30-item Social Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) scores (3-point scale) baseline immediate postintervention follow-up, assessed per-protocol intent-to-treat mixed-model analyses. Secondary outcomes self-reported changes depressive positive negative affect, pro-environmental efforts attitudes, nature connectedness. Results A total 33 participated (53 teachers, 1015 students), including 16 (25 515 students) 17 (28 500 control group. Student mean (SD) age 10.9 (0.75) years; 507 (50.7%) girls. Per-protocol analyses showed no differences symptom between groups; example, adjusted difference SBQ groups symptoms −0.04 (95% CI, −0.13 0.04) analysis −0.06 −0.16 analysis. Post hoc revealed low at baseline, variability. Slightly greater reductions observed only children higher ( P < .05 interaction). For internalizing SD above decreased by 0.38 (mean change, −0.15; .001) vs Conclusions Relevance this large daily-life school settings, weeks did reduce aged years either However, low-cost, safe outdoor may provide unmeasured longer-term benefits risk Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05662436
