Early life lead exposure as a risk factor for aggressive and violent behaviour in young adults: A systematic review
This review was aimed at synthesising individual level evidence on the association between early life lead exposure and aggressive or violent behaviours in young adults.
We conducted comprehensive searches in 17 electronic databases between September 19th and October 30th, 2019 and updated this September 1st, 2024 using PubMed and Scopus databases. Two reviewers independently screened all records and full texts, extracted data from included studies, and assessed risk of bias using the Newcastle Ottawa tool. Results were pooled by random effects meta-analysis. Relevant subgroup and sensitivity analyses were carried out.
Six out of 2874 studies were found eligible. All were conducted in high income countries. The definition of violence varied across studies. Blood lead level was associated with an increased risk of arrest or conviction for violent crime with a pooled OR of 1.17 for each 5 μg/dl rise (95 % CI: 1.10–1.23). There was insufficient data to conduct a dose response meta-analysis.
Despite some heterogeneity, studies consistently reported an association between lead exposure in childhood and violent behaviour in young adulthood. Better reported studies, particularly from lower resourced settings, are needed to confirm these results. Environmental lead control may help to reduce aggressive and violent behaviour in young adults.
期刊介绍:
Aggression and Violent Behavior, A Review Journal is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes substantive and integrative reviews, as well as summary reports of innovative ongoing clinical research programs on a wide range of topics germane to the field of aggression and violent behavior. Papers encompass a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including homicide (serial, spree, and mass murder: sexual homicide), sexual deviance and assault (rape, serial rape, child molestation, paraphilias), child and youth violence (firesetting, gang violence, juvenile sexual offending), family violence (child physical and sexual abuse, child neglect, incest, spouse and elder abuse), genetic predispositions, and the physiological basis of aggression.
