An original investigation has studied the association between prenatal lead (Pb) exposure and cognitive development in children. The results showed that even low levels of prenatal Pb exposure were significantly associated with an increased risk of cognitive developmental delay (CDD) in children. The incidence of CDD increased with both prenatal Pb exposure and genetic risk, […]
Autism Prevalence in Adults More Than Doubled in Less Than a Decade
Most significant Increase Seen in Adults Aged 25 to 34, with a 195% Jump in Prevalence A recent brief report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Psychiatry shows that autism prevalence has more than doubled among adults over 18 enrolled in Medicaid in the last decade.
