Prenatal exposure to mercury in fish not associated with impaired neurodevelopment.
2003 JUN 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Authors of a longitudinal study investigating a possible link between prenatal mercury exposure from ocean fish and impaired neurodevelopment in children have reported their latest findings.
The results confirm earlier findings that prenatal exposure to mercury in the Seychelles - where fish consumption is the main component of the local diet - is not associated with impaired neurodevelopment in young children.
A research team from the University of Rochester, New York, with colleagues from the Seychelles investigated 779 mother-infant pairs enrolled in the Seychelles Childhood Development Study, established in 1989/1990. Mothers reported high fish consumption - 12 meals a week compared with 1 meal a week on average in the U.S. The fish in Seychelles contained similar concentrations of methylmercury as commercial ocean fish elsewhere. Prenatal MeHg exposure was determined from maternal hair growing during pregnancy.
Findings were published in the Lancet (2003;361(9370)).
The investigators assessed neurocognitive, language, memory, motor, ...
