| Early-life traffic-related air pollution exposure linked to hyperactivity Posted: 20 May 2013 10:12 PM PDT Early-life exposure to traffic-related air pollution was significantly associated with higher hyperactivity scores at age 7, according to new research. |
| Bed sharing leads to fivefold increase in risk of crib death for babies whose parents do not smoke Posted: 20 May 2013 03:54 PM PDT Parents who share a bed with their breastfed baby could face a fivefold increase in the risk of crib death, even if the parents do not smoke, according to a new study. |

| Combined wood and tobacco smoke exposure increases risk and symptoms of COPD Posted: 20 May 2013 11:27 AM PDT People who are consistently exposed to both wood smoke and tobacco smoke are at a greater risk for developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and for experiencing more frequent and severe symptoms of the disease, as well as more severe airflow obstruction, than those who are exposed to only one type of smoke. |
| Link between childhood ADHD and obesity revealed in first long-term study Posted: 20 May 2013 08:39 AM PDT A new study found men diagnosed as children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were twice as likely to be obese in a 33-year follow-up study compared to men who were not diagnosed with the condition. |
