Role of maternal alcohol intake during pregnancy in early-life child neurodevelopment: results of the Italian PHIME cohort
Low levels of PAE were not associated with neurodevelopmental impairment at 18 months, except for possible motor impairment at higher exposures: our findings highlight the predominant influence of maternal IQ and the home environment. Further research, including a broader range of alcohol exposure, is needed to better define potential safety thresholds of PAE on early-life neurodevelopment.
