• Vitamin D and muscle strength throughout the life course: a review of epidemiological and intervention studies. 

  McCarthy, Elaine K.; Kiely, Mairead E. (Wiley, 2014-10-03)

  The putative role of vitamin D in muscle function and strength throughout the life course is of interest because muscle strength is required for engagement in physical activity at all ages. As vitamin D deficiency is widely ...
• Impact of maternal, antenatal and birth-associated factors on iron stores at birth: data from a prospective maternal–infant birth cohort 

  McCarthy, Elaine K.; Kenny, Louise C.; Hourihane, Jonathan O'B.; Irvine, Alan D.; Murray, Deirdre M.; Kiely, Mairead E. (Springer Nature, 2016-12-21)

  Background/Objectives: Low serum ferritin concentrations at birth, which reflect neonatal iron stores, track through to early childhood and have been associated with poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes. We aimed to identify ...
• Eating behaviour and weight status at 2 years of age: data from the Cork BASELINE Birth Cohort Study 

  McCarthy, Elaine K.; Ní Chaoimh, Carol E.; Murray, Deirdre M.; Hourihane, Jonathan O'B.; Kenny, Louise C.; Kiely, Mairead E. (Springer Nature, 2015-08-15)

  Background/Objectives: To conduct an analysis of associations between eating behaviours and weight status in 2-year-old children. Subjects/Methods: Data were collected prospectively in the maternal-infant dyad Cork BASELINE ...
• Iron intakes and status of 2-year-old children in the Cork BASELINE Birth Cohort Study 

  McCarthy, Elaine K.; Ní Chaoimh, Carol E.; Hourihane, Jonathan O'B.; Kenny, Louise C.; Irvine, Alan D.; Murray, Deirdre M.; Kiely, Mairead E. (Wiley, 2016-08-09)

  Young children are at risk of iron deficiency and subsequent anaemia, resulting in long‐term consequences for cognitive, motor and behavioural development. This study aimed to describe the iron intakes, status and determinants ...
• Iron status, body size, and growth in the first 2 years of life 

  McCarthy, Elaine K.; Ní­ Chaoimh, Carol E.; Kenny, Louise C.; Hourihane, Jonathan O'B.; Irvine, Alan D.; Murray, Deirdre M.; Kiely, Mairead E. (Wiley, 2018-04-27)

  Rapid growth in infancy has been shown to adversely affect iron status up to 1 year; however the effect of growth on iron status in the second year of life has been largely unexplored. We aimed to investigate the impact ...
