Coffee Caffeine Does Not Associate with Poor Child Cognition and Behavior

Epidemiological studies do not agree that maternal Caffeine Intake during pregnancy may have a negative impact on child cognition and behavior, a new study suggested.

Coffee, second to green tea is a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Cognition and Behavior is a group of neuron functions involving sensation and perception, learning and memory, attention, mental imagery, conceptual presentation, language expression, emotion response, motor control,.....



In the study of examining maternal serum paraxanthine at <20 and ≥26 weeks gestation with the child's intelligence quotient (IQ) and problem behaviors at ages 4 and 7 years among 2,197 mother-child pairs, researchers showed that paraxanthine, a structurally related to caffeine.and caffeine's primary metabolite concentration has a significantly inverted effect at ≥26 weeks gestation with child's IQ at age 7 years.



And at <20 weeks, paraxanthine also expressed a linearly associated with internalizing behavior at age 4 years.


Interestingly, after taking into account a range of values applicable to most pregnant women, researchers indicated that coffee caffeine in contribution to serum paraxanthine concentration showed no significant effect in association with childhood IQ or problem behaviors.

In contrast to the healthy mothers, Women's reported coffee intake per day during pregnancy was associated with lower child's Behavior Rating Scale (BRS), a complete overview of child and adolescent concerns and disorders, ratings in anemic children. Even with the inclusion of other contributing factors and after anemic children given appropriate treatment, coffee consumption continuously showed Poor Child Cognition and Behavior.

Dr.Engle PL, the lead author said, " The effects of postnatal coffee ingestion in Guatemala were seen for sleep duration, but not for cognitive development. Prenatal coffee ingestion was negatively associated with Behavior Rating Scales".

Taking all together, coffee caffeine intake during pregnancy may not have any meaningful effect in association to childhood cognitive development and measurement of Behavior Rating Scales, excluding anemic children,
