Abstract

To evaluate the relationship between maternal cognitive performance and language and cognitive development of children between 24 and 36 months old of mothers who became pregnant in adolescence, in the city of Pelotas, Southern Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study nested in a cohort study with adolescent mothers who received prenatal care in the city’s public health system. To assess maternal cognitive performance, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used and Bayley Scales of Infant Development III (BSID-III) are used to assess children's language and cognition development. Data were analyzed using SPSS (Version 22.0) software. Pearson correlation, t-test, ANOVA and linear regression were performed. We evaluated 496 mother-child dyads. In the adjusted analysis, we found that children's language remained associated with maternal cognitive performance (p = .027, CI [0.0, 0.6]) and child’s gender (p < .001, CI [−7.2, −2.4]). Besides that children cognitive development remained associated with maternal cognitive performance (p = .008, CI [0.1, 0.6]) and child’s gender (p = .030, CI [−4.5, −0.2]). Our results suggest that poor maternal cognitive performance is associated with lower levels of children's language and cognitive development. The results contributing to early identification and intervention in children of mothers with poor cognitive performance at higher risk of negative developmental outcomes.

学龄前儿童的认知和语言发展与母亲的认知表现有关:一项对巴西南部城市地区年轻母亲的研究

在巴西南部的佩洛塔斯市，为了评估在青春期怀孕的母亲的认知表现与24至36个月大的孩子的语言和认知发展之间的关系。这是一项横断面研究，嵌套在一项队列研究中，研究对象是在该市公共卫生系统接受产前护理的青春期母亲。采用蒙特利尔认知评估(MoCA)和贝利婴儿发展量表(BSID-III)对母亲的认知能力进行评估。数据分析采用SPSS (Version 22.0)软件。Pearson相关、t检验、方差分析和线性回归分析。我们评估了496对母子。在调整分析中，我们发现儿童的语言仍然与母亲的认知表现(p = 0.027, CI[0.0, 0.6])和儿童的性别(p < .001, CI[−7.2，−2.4])相关。此外，儿童的认知发展仍与母亲的认知表现(p = 0.008, CI[0.1, 0.6])和儿童的性别(p = 0.030, CI[- 4.5， - 0.2])有关。我们的研究结果表明，母亲较差的认知表现与儿童较低的语言和认知发展水平有关。研究结果有助于早期识别和干预认知能力差的母亲的孩子，他们的孩子有更高的负面发展结果风险。
