[2/2] "Conversely, among the children born very-to-moderately preterm, ACT exposure was associated with a significantly lower risk of infectious diseases at ages 5-10 compared with nonexposed children of the same gestational age."

[2/3] The episode, which will be included in the upcoming Climate University and University of Helsinki MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) PlanetaryHealth[.]now, explores the health benefits of spending time in nature.

…potentially mediating the previously established association between VLBW birth and cardiometabolic risk.

I am very grateful to my coauthors, to grant providers, and of course - most importantly - to the study participants!

The differences in bone mineral density were smaller than those seen in previous studies - i.e., studies using unrelated individuals rather than siblings as controls.

The sibling study design allows control for potential familial confounding, i.e. shared genetic, and/or environmental factors.

I was blown away by all of the exciting, cool #EdTech projects and implementations presented at the event and will write about some of them in upcoming posts. 🧪

Det var fint att höra! Jag förhåller mig ödmjuk inför att studiens fynd givetvis måste replikeras innan man kan dra alltför starka slutsatser. Samtidigt är jag stolt över att den, såvitt jag vet, är den första randomiserade kliniska prövningen i ämnet. 🌞💊

Kul att också du är på Bluesky, förresten!

Thank you! 🙏

🙏 Thank you for your comment, I will be writing more about the course’s topics and its development in upcoming posts. 🌍
