“…First, it was a cross-sectional investigation and, therefore, the potential causal inference was limited. Second, because this was a questionnaire-based study, parents may have underreported certain items, which is the main drawback of questionnaire-based studies [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ], and as such a recall or response biases may have occurred. Objective analysis, such as polysomnography, may be needed in order to evaluate sleep status and quality.…”

Recently, sleeping status has attracted attention for its relationship with oral health. In the present study, we have investigated the association between early childhood caries and sleeping status. A multicentre observational cross-sectional study was conducted among 332 preschoolers (aged 3–6 years) and their parents in Chitose, Japan. Dental caries and sleeping status were assessed in the children and the sleep quality and health literacy of the parents were also assessed. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used in order to investigate the effect of the sleeping status of the parents and their children on dental caries. Among the children, the prevalence of dental caries experience was 12.7%. The children without caries slept significantly longer and their parents had a better Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score than those with caries experience. The sleeping status and the numbers of caries in the children were significantly correlated. Health literacy was better in those without caries experience. Parents’ PSQI was significantly positively correlated with the numbers of caries in the children (r = 0.19, p = 0.0004). The children’s sleep durations, screen time, and parental smoking status were independently associated with early childhood caries. Poor sleeping status of children and their parents is related to dental caries among preschoolers.

“…Social capital is defined as "resources composed of or derived from trust, and/or norms, and/or networks, which facilitate collective actions" [19,20]. Maternal social capital has been reported to have a positive impact on children's body size [21,22], health behaviors [23], and maltreatment [24] and may prevent the development of autism spectrum disorder [25]. Social capital has also been reported to have a positive impact on people's health via social influence, informal social control, collective efficacy, and as a stress buffer [20].…”

Background: It is inconclusive whether prenatal negative life events are a risk for the development of allergic diseases in children or whether social capital modifies the association. The objective of this study was to examine whether women’s experiences of such events during pregnancy were associated with the development of allergic diseases in their offspring at 3 years old and whether social capital moderated this association. Methods: We used data from 81,337 mother-child pairs who participated in the Japan Environment and Children’s Study. This is a prospective birth cohort recruited between January 2011 and March 2014. We examined the associations between prenatal maternal negative life events (e.g., bereavement, financial, and marital problems) during pregnancy and allergic diseases (asthma, eczema, and food allergies) in children after adjustment for covariates using multivariate logistic regression. We also examined interactions between these life events and social capital, measured as two items, social cohesion and social support. Results: Prenatal negative life events were significantly associated with doctor-diagnosed asthma at 3 years old with a dose-response relationship (one life event vs. none: adjusted odds ratio 1.13, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07–1.20; two life events vs. none: adjusted odds ratio 1.24, 95% CI: 1.13–1.36; three or more life events vs. none: adjusted odds ratio 1.26, 95% CI: 1.10–1.46; p for trend <0.01). Similar results were observed for eczema and food allergies. There were no interactions between life events and social capital. Conclusion: Prenatal negative life events may be a risk factor for allergies in children. There was no modification of the effect of these events by social capital.
