TAILIEUCHUNG - World Research Trends in Child Health and the Environment

Therapist Lisa Lieberman stresses that it is impor- tant to make the information available to kids at a developmentally appropriate level. Particularly at first, you may want to talk to each child individ- ually if they have different information needs. A six-year-old may just need to be told that a part of mommy’s brain isn’t working like it should, and that makes her move funny, but she’s going to be okay. An adolescent may need more specific infor- mation about the disease. Outside resources can help in guiding your discus- sions. The American Parkinson Disease Association Inc.

It is also known that children go through some developmental phases that are highly sensitive to certain pollutants. When unborn and small children go through physical and mental development different organs develop at different times and as such some organs are more sensitive than others to certain materials during certain developmental phases. In addition some researchers support the so-called Barker hypothesis which suggests that low nutritional conditions before birth result in lifestyle-related diseases later as adults. Moreover despite the improvement of medical care and welfare it is thought that the incidence and prevalence rates of some health conditions such as allergies are higher among the current generation than previous ones. Furthermore children are more passive than adults when it comes to exposure to environmental pollutants. Children s characteristic behaviors higher food intake per weight compared to adults and their distinctive metabolism of environmental pollutants mean that children typically suffer greater exposure to environmental pollutants than adults. In recent years there has been growing worldwide concern over children s vulnerability to environmental changes and studies have been conducted in the United States and elsewhere to understand the relationship between the environment and child health to find ways to protect children s health and to use the findings for disease prevention and treatment. This article introduces worldwide trends in these studies particularly studies in the United States which are conducted at the largest scale to suggest future directions of study for Japan. 2 Background That the influence of environmental pollution on children should be
