An Aspirin a Day?
A small dose of aspirin in pregnancy can help prevent high blood pressure complications, expert guidance for the NHS in England and Wales says. High blood pressure in pregnancy is linked to pre-eclampsia - a leading cause of maternal death in the UK.
Light exercise during pregnancy may improve the future health of a child by controlling weight in the womb, New Zealand and US researchers say. Overweight or obese mums are more likely to have larger babies which could be at higher risk of health problems later in life.
The first direct evidence of a genetic link to attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder has been found, a study says. Scientists from Cardiff University, writing in The Lancet, said the disorder was a brain problem like autism - not due to bad parenting. They analysed stretches of DNA from 366 children who had been diagnosed with the disorder.
Almost a third of children regularly go without breakfast before school and are more likely than classmates to be inactive, unfit and obese, research shows. The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition studied 4,326 children aged 10-16 in England. They found that 26.6% of boys and 38.6% of girls skipped breakfast some or all of the time.
