“…We report no abnormalities in arterial health, including PWV and BP, nor in adiposity, blood glucose or lipids during early childhood following abnormal fetal growth. Increased cfPWV has previously been reported in SGA preschool children [ 29 ] and adolescents [ 33 ]. Similarly, increased aortic stiffness has been reported in SGA preadolescent [ 34 ], but not in young children [ 27 ].…”

“…Increased carotid IMT has, in contrast to our findings, been linked with SGA during early childhood [ 9 ]. However, studies are inconclusive, as both increased carotid IMT [ 26 – 29 ] and normal carotid IMT [ 30 ], and increased [ 29 ] and normal [ 26 ] aortic IMT have been reported in SGA children, along with normal carotid IMT in LGA children [ 31 ]. We speculate that this could be due to limitations in conventional ultrasound axial resolution applied in earlier studies.…”

Background Abnormal fetal growth is associated with increased cardiovascular risk in adulthood. We investigated the effect of fetal programming on arterial health and morphology during early childhood. Methods We examined 90 children (median age 5.81 years, interquartile range: 5.67; 5.95), born small for gestational age with fetal growth restriction, large or appropriate for gestational age (SGA, N = 23, LGA, N = 19, AGA N = 48). We measured body composition, anthropometrics, blood pressure, pulse wave velocity (PWV), lipids, glucose and inflammatory markers, and assessed carotid, brachial, radial and femoral arterial morphology and stiffness using very-high resolution ultrasound (46–71 MHz). Results LGA showed increased anthropometry, lean body mass and body mass index. SGA displayed decreased anthropometry and lean body mass. Blood pressure, PWV, carotid artery stiffness and blood work did not differ groupwise. Differences in lumen diameters, intima-media thicknesses (IMT) and adventitia thicknesses disappeared when adjusted for lean body mass and sex. In multiple regression models arterial dimensions were mainly predicted by lean body mass, with birth weight remaining associated only with carotid and brachial lumen dimensions, and not with IMTs. Carotid-femoral PWV was predicted by height and blood pressure only. No independent effect of adiposity was observed. Conclusions Arterial dimensions in childhood associate with current anthropometrics, especially lean body mass, and sex, explaining differences in arterial layer thickness. We found no signs of fetal programming of cardiovascular risk or arterial health in early childhood.

“…It is not only to incorporate spaces that are healthier and better for the environment but also to help with emotional affiliation and stress relief [37,39]. To implement this concept, construction practitioners used natural materials (timber, wood panels) with wide corridors, high ceilings, or wide windows to create openness and incorporate the sun to maintain sustainability [40,41]. Moreover, biological walls and colors such as green and various earth tones attempt to connect people with nature and obtain the psychological impacts of nature-like features in built environments [19].…”

COVID-19 has forced people to spend more time indoors due to lockdown and social distancing, and clients demand personalized indoor spaces designed to increase individual satisfaction indoors. Consequently, various fourth industrial revolution technologies have been applied to support construction spaces to satisfy those clients lacking architectural knowledge and experience by reflecting individual tendencies and perceptions to build personalized indoor spaces. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how users evaluate the space according to behaviors and emotions felt in the space. A systematic review is performed to integrate significant categories from multiple disciplines to investigate the various decision-making aspects. In this study, 124 papers were selected, applying the PRISMA checklist to conduct a systematic literature review with scientometric analysis to propose a conceptual framework by reflecting the research trend related to indoor space decision-making. Accordingly, research on indoor space decision-making is increasing with pursuing convergence with various fields of study. The research is focused on the following four clusters: indoor space components, human tendencies, technology, and spatial evaluation. The framework proposed by integrating these trends could be utilized by clients as a practical tool to support people-centered indoor space decision-making post-COVID-19. Moreover, a framework should be developed to expand effectiveness in indoor spaces through convergence and collaboration research with psychology, physiology, and the medical field.

“…Impairment of fetal growth is seen in approximately 10% of pregnancies (Unterscheider et al, 2013); the majority are attributed to SGA and to a lesser extent to FGR. Furthermore, babies born SGA are at an increased risk of being short stature and developing cardio-metabolic diseases early in life (Castagno et al, 2019;Muñiz Fontán et al, 2019).…”
