TI  - Seafood consumption in pregnancy and infant size at birth: results from a 
      prospective Spanish cohort.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Studies on maternal seafood consumption during pregnancy and the risk 
      of small for gestational age (SGA) births have yielded inconsistent results. As 
      few studies have examined associations with specific seafood subtypes or 
      accounted simultaneously for exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), it 
      is uncertain to what extent intakes of seafood subtypes with variable contaminant 
      or fatty acid content may explain these inconsistencies. METHODS: A cohort of 657 
      women recruited during the first trimester of pregnancy from a Mediterranean area 
      with high seafood intakes was followed through birth. Dietary intakes were 
      estimated using a validated questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression was 
      used to estimate associations between SGA and intakes of fatty fish, lean fish, 
      canned tuna, crustaceans and other shellfish, adjusting for parity, child sex, 
      parental anthropometry, socio-economic factors and serum levels of several POPs, 
      including several polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and 
      dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE). RESULTS: Overall, 7.8% of infants were 
      SGA. Maternal consumption of crustaceans (more than once/week) and canned tuna 
      (more than once/week was associated with a significantly increased risk of SGA. 
      Fatty fish (more than once/week) was associated with weaker and generally 
      non-significant increases in risk, while lean fish and other shellfish were not 
      associated with SGA. Adjusting for contaminants did not meaningfully change 
      results. CONCLUSIONS: Higher maternal intakes of crustaceans and canned tuna, but 
      not other types of seafood, were associated with increased risk of SGA 
      independently of several POPs. Future studies exploring seafood subtypes and 
      additional contaminants are needed to determine whether these associations are 
      causal and identify mechanisms involved.
