Summary researchers at the University of Bergen have studied the connection between the length of the umbilical cord in newborns and future diagnoses. The study included children born between 1999 and 2013, and looked at whether they received a diagnosis later in life. Children with extra short or long umbilical cord had increased risk of certain diagnoses, such as ADHD, autism, epilepsy, developmental disabilities, impaired vision, right -wing or cerebral palsy. The researchers emphasize that the context does not explain the cause of the conditions, but can provide insight into human development biology. Women do not need to worry that they are doing something “mistakes” during pregnancy, as most people with long or short umbilical cord are healthy and have normal development.

The umbilical cord is the lifeline between mother and child for nine months. Right after birth, he is cut. While the child meets her mother for the first time, the umbilical cord is measured. It is often between 50 and 60 centimeters long and two centimeters thick. Someone can be well over a meter long. A midwife at Ringerike Hospital measures the umbilical cord of a newborn child.

Coupled length with diagnosis – it really began with a curiosity, says Professor Cathrine Ebbing. Ho and colleagues are behind the study published in the journal PLOS One. The researchers looked at children who were born between 1999 to 2013, and who were followed up until 2020. The information on the length of the umbilical cord received them from the birth register. Then they looked at the children who had extra short or long umbilical cord. It will say lifelines shorter than 35 centimeters and longer than 70 centimeters. Then these numbers were switched on to whether the children received a diagnosis later in life. The diagnoses they looked for in the children were ADHD, autism, epilepsy, developmental disabilities, impaired vision, right -wing or cerebral palsy. Ebbing and colleagues found some clear contexts, although these do not explain the cause of the conditions. Pipelines affect the umbilical cord – what we have found is that neuro development disorders and string length have a context, and it is actually already visible in fetal life, says Ebbing and continued: – Some umbilical cords were short, there was a tendency for the person a little more often to have a menturer. We also found that the person a little more often had reduced right -wing, says Ebbing. – What about those who had extra long umbilical cords? – There was a little increased tendency for the person to be diagnosed with ADHD later in life, and a little increased occurrence of autism in some groups. We saw that both those with extremely long and short string were at risk for cerebral palsy. Cathrine Ebbing Obstations Physician at Haukeland University Hospital. Photo: Haukeland University Hospital What does the research say about the risk those who had a short umbilical cord had: Two to three times increased risk of learning disabilities 41 percent Increased risk of hearing hearing 31 percent increased risk of epilepsy. Those who had a long umbilical cord had: 15 percent increased risk of ADHD. The risk went up the longer the umbilical cord was, and went down when the string length was shorter. There was a 30 percent increased risk for cerebral palsy for both the short and long umbilical cord. Source: Ebbing et al. Do not think the string controls ebbing that a possible explanation of why it is so is that people with ADHD may be moving more, already inside the mother’s stomach. And a lot of piping can cause longer umbilical cords, while little movements can cause shorter string. She emphasizes that the background for various neuro development disorders such as ADHD is extremely complex. – We imagine that the brain controls the physical activity of the fetus, and physical activity affects the length of the umbilical cord. Therefore, the string length is a measurable sign that can be pointed in one direction. Cause or context? The more fire constables participating in a fire sludge, the greater the damage. We have clear figures on this, the context is open. Does that mean that you want to emphasize that you want help from so few fire constables as possible when you call 110 because your house is on fire? No. And why don’t you do it? Because you have realized the difference between correlation and causality. We can determine that there is a correlation between the number of fire constables and the size of the damage – that is, there is one or another correlation between the two phenomena. The question is whether it is a so -called causal context, that a (the number of fire constables) is the cause of B (greater damage)? Common sense tell us that this is not the case. We must take a factor C into consideration, namely the size of the fire. The larger the fire, the more fire constables are sent out. But they cannot prevent the fact that larger fire in any case causes greater damage. Thus, it is C (the size of the fire) – the underlying cause – which controls both A (the number of fire constables) and B (the size of the damage). It is often easy to find correlation, as you tel and measure different phenomena, and find the context in that way. Finding out if the contexts are causal, whether a really leads to B, is often far more complicated. Quick Summary: When two phenomena vary together, ie A and B become larger or smaller at the same time, there is correlation. When A gets bigger or smaller because B gets bigger or smaller, it’s causality. – Not something one goes and thinks of Trond Melbye Michelsen is a consultant at the maternity ward at Oslo University Hospital and professor at the University of Oslo. He thinks the study from Bergen is thought provoking. – Maybe it’s not something to think about: Does that mean any long umbilical cord is? He thinks the study is robust, and says Norwegian researchers have an advantage because we have data about saying all Norwegian births through the birth register. – Here Norway can contribute to international research and understanding of pregnancy and the child’s development. Professor Trond Melbye Michelsen has previously been awarded research on the placenta. Photo: Oslo University Hospital No cause of concern Women do not need to worry that they are doing something “mistakes” during pregnancy. Most people with long or short umbilical cord are healthy and have normal development, Ebbing says. – Although the risk is increased by 30 per cent, this does not mean that the risk is high. For the starting risk is so low. Furthermore, this is the number that applies to the entire population. Many conditions affect the development of the child. Much can not be done with, such as umbilical cord length. Michelsen from the University of Oslo also does not think that one can use the length of the umbilical cord, which for many years has been measured at Norwegian hospitals, to submit if a child can get different diagnoses. – You could think that then you can separate out the children who have very long or short umbilical cord and take extra care of them, or do something to change the course. It may not be like that. Context, not the reason that researchers have found this context does not mean that short or long umbilical cord is the reason why someone has, for example, ADHD. – This provides insight into human development biology, which I think is interesting. Then we also know that extreme string length is linked to risk, both in the short and slightly longer term. This is a piece in that picture, Ebbing concludes. Published 04.05.2025, at. 09.50
