| Video Discription | (9 Apr 2012) HEADLINE: Autism may be linked to obesity during pregnancy _______________________________________ CAPTION: New research links maternal obesity with autism in children. It doesn't prove obesity causes autism, but the authors say their results raise public health concerns because of the high level of obesity in the U.S. (April 9) _______________________________________ [Location: Los Angeles, CA April 9, 2012] [Source: AP] As if mothers-to-be needed one more thing to worry about... A new study shows a possible link between autistic children and obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes in their mothers. For moms like Cynthia Galvan, who's pregnant with her second child, that's good news, because diet and exercise is something she can control. [SOT/CYNTHIA GALVAN, Pregnant] "For me it's just 9 months of pregnancy. Why not eat healthy for 9 months and have a healthy child. Than eat unhealthy and have the risk of having an unhealthy child." :13 Researchers at the University of California-Davis surveyed over a thousand children - some with autism, some with other kinds of developmental delays - and reviewed their mothers' medical records, looking for signs of obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. [SOT/IRVA HERTZ-PICCIOTTO, UC Davis Prof. of Epidemiology] "So if you had at least one of those, you were at an about 60% high chance of having a child with autism or an autism spectrum disorder. And also a child with developmental delay - more than a 2-fold higher risk if the mom had one of those three conditions." :19 This study breaks new ground - it's the first to point to metabolic disorders as one of many factors in the development of autism. Hertz-Picciotto (pih-cho-toe) emphasizes that the study is preliminary, and other researchers need to confirm and expand upon their results. At this Los Angeles playground, autism and its genetic causes is one of many worries that parents face. But the idea that the prenatal environment, along with genetic tendencies toward autism, give some parents hope that the puzzle of autism will be solved soon. [SOT/CYNTHIA SIMMONS, Mother of three] "It's too complex to figure out why some children are born with various developmental issues. But if you can control one factor perhaps science will be on our side." :20 The research was published in Pediatrics online on Monday...and was partially funded by the National Institutes of Health.
