Unfortunate events during childhood may lead to sleep disruption or asthma

Household dysfunction or any adverse event in childhood may have a short-term affect on a child's health and weight in early days as well, finds a study.

The study suggested that children exposed to early adversity also have increased risk for asthma, infection, somatic complaints, and sleep disruption.

Maternal mental health issues are associated with elevated cortisol levels, and maltreatment is associated with a lower cortisol profile.

For the study, the researchers examined 39 cohort studies to determine the effect that adverse childhood experiences have on health and biological outcomes in children.

"The majority of research on early adversity has looked at long-term adult outcomes. While this research has helped identify the problem, we must also deepen our understanding of what is happening in the brains and bodies of our children as they experience adversity," said Debby Oh, Researcher at the Center for Youth Wellness, US in a statement.

The researchers suggested that with appropriate intervention, children are able to recover from some of these negative health effects, making early detection a powerful tool to protect the health and well-being of children before long-term adult outcomes occur.

Strong bonding with grandparents eases depression

A new study has claimed that grandparents and grandchildren's strong relationship has significant effects on well being of both, long into grandchildren's adulthood. 

An assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and the Institute on Ageing , who will present the study,  said that they found that an emotionally close grandparent-adult grandchild relationship was associated with fewer symptoms of depression for both generations. 

She said that the greater emotional support grandparents and adult grandchildren received from one another, the better their psychological health. 

The study also revealed that giving tangible support to or receiving it from their grandchildren affected the psychological well-being of grandparents but not grandchildren. 

Tangible support, also called functional solidarity or instrumental support, includes anything from rides to the store and money to assistance with household chores and advice. 

They also said that grandparents who experienced the sharpest increases in depressive symptoms over time received tangible support, but did not give it. 

She asserted that there is a saying that it's better to give than to receive. 

She said that their results support that folk wisdom — if a grandparent gets help, but can't give it, he or she feels badly. 

She explained that the grandparents expect to be able to help their grandchildren, even when their grandchildren are grown, and it's frustrating and depressing for them to instead be dependent on their grandchildren. 

In their study, the researchers used data from the Longitudinal Study of Generations, a survey of 3- and 4-generation U.S. families that included seven waves of data collection between 1985 and 2004. 

The sample was comprised of 376 grandparents and 340 grandchildren. The average grandparent was born in 1917 and the average grandchild in 1963, making them 77 years old and 31 years old, respectively, at the midpoint of the study in 1994.

Physical activity reduses hot flashes in women

Higher levels of routine daily physical activity may be the 

more important key to a better night's sleep for many 

women who have hot flashes or night sweats, a study has 

revealed.


Researchers  focused on women with hot flashes or night 

sweats and also drew the distinction between leisure time 

and household activity.


The  women in the study, who were 54 to 63 years old, kept 

diaries rating their sleep and wore sleep monitors.


They also completed questionnaires about their physical 

activity, including routine household and care giving chores 

requiring light, moderate, or vigorous effort as well as 

sports and exercise.


The results showed that the women who had higher levels of 

activity reported better sleep and fewer night time 

awakenings.


The positive effects were mainly associated with household 

and care giving activity rather than sports or exercise.
