Alterations in angiogenesis and epigenetic changes to vascular development have been implicated as a probable mechanism for this vulnerability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We assessed the long\u2010term impact of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) on adult vascular health using a prospective cohort first identified while in utero. Participants with no PAE (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a037, mean age\u00a0=\u00a036.7 [SD = 1.6] years) were compared to participants with PAE (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a051, mean age\u00a0=\u00a036.3 [SD = 1.7] years). Their vascular health was assessed by arterial blood pressure (BP) and peripheral arterial tonometry, which yields an index of endothelial function (reactive hyperemia index) and a measure of arterial stiffness (augmentation index). Blood samples were collected to assess cholesterol levels and insulin resistance (glucose, hemoglobin A1C, and insulin). Path analysis was used to examine the direct and indirect effects of PAE on vascular health after adjusting for other known physical outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants with a history of PAE weighed less, trended towards being shorter, had smaller body mass, and had more alcohol\u2010related dysmorphic features than those without PAE. Path analysis suggested that the impact of PAE on BP was through its indirect relationships with height, body mass index, and dysmorphic features and resulted in protective effects relative to the Contrast group who were disproportionately overweight. PAE was also found to have a direct negative effect on endothelial function. An index of total alcohol\u2010related dysmorphic features was negatively had both a direct effect on arterial stiffness and an indirect effect on endothelial function.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Prenatal alcohol exposures' impact on vascular function is not independent of other common physical and environmental factors but endothelial function and arterial stiffness seemed most compromised after controlling for these other factors. Level of alcohol\u2010related dysmorphic features seems to be predictive of more adverse effects than endothelial function and vascular stiffness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/acer.14970","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,4]],"date-time":"2022-11-04T08:19:57Z","timestamp":1667549997000},"page":"116-126","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Path analysis of the impact of prenatal alcohol on adult vascular function"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"47","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5008-0887","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julie A.","family":"Kable","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science Emory University School of Medicine  Atlanta Georgia USA"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics Emory University School of Medicine  Atlanta Georgia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Puja K.","family":"Mehta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology Emory University School of Medicine  Atlanta Georgia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fauzia","family":"Rashid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology Emory University School of Medicine  Atlanta Georgia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3399-6644","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claire D.","family":"Coles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science Emory University School of Medicine  Atlanta Georgia USA"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics Emory University School of Medicine  Atlanta Georgia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/acer.14430"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.301.6761.1111"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0049124187016001004"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/mcp.RA118.001047"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2004.08.062"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000009233"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph16091586"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/acer.13755"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","unstructured":"Center For Disease Control and Prevention.
