    Early childhood growth trajectories can influence the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. Improvements in environmental sanitation may affect child development in low-resource settings. Objective: to examine the associations among socioeconomic factors with nutrition indicators, and trajectories of anthropometric indicators across three epidemiological cohorts that reflect different phases of environmental sanitation implementation. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted in Salvador, Brazil, from 1997 to 2013. A total of 1429 children were recruited across three epidemiological cohorts, corresponding to the phases of a sanitation program: pre-intervention (n = 299), intervention (n = 1007), and post-intervention (n = 123). Height-for-age (HAZ) and BMI-for-age (BAZ) z-scores were assessed at four time points. Multilevel linear models were used to adjust for socioeconomic factors. Results: A total of 992 children (68.7%) completed follow-up. Post-intervention children showed improved HAZ trajectories, with sex-specific patterns that varied across cohorts. Birth weight is positively associated with HAZ across all cohorts (0.34–0.49 kg increase per z-score). Household overcrowding (>2 persons/room) is consistently associated with lower HAZ (−0.34 to −0.63 z-score reduction). Children who were never exclusively breastfed in the post-intervention phase had a higher BAZ (0.76 z-score increase). Caesarean delivery is associated with higher BAZ in the pre-intervention (0.23) and intervention (0.27) cohorts. Conclusions: Children born in later time periods showed better growth trajectories, which may reflect the combined effects of sanitation improvements, economic development, and other societal changes in Brazil during this period. Further research using experimental or quasi-experimental designs is needed to isolate the specific contribution of sanitation to child growth.

    Introduction: School bullying has sparked considerable research interest, leading to the development of specific measures aimed at assessing both traditional bullying and cyberbullying (CB). Objective: To identify evidence of validity for the European Bullying Intervention Project Questionnaire (EBIPQ) and the European Cyberbullying Intervention Project Questionnaire (ECIPQ) in a sample of Ecuadorian adolescents. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive and psychometric study analyzing the construct validity, internal consistency, and convergent validity of both instruments. Sample: 341 adolescent students (56% female, 44% male), aged 14 to 19 years (M = 15.72; SD = 0.85), from different cities in Ecuador. Results: Oblique fit models with two dimensions per instrument provide the best factor representation. They also demonstrate adequate internal consistency across their dimensions and a high correlation between the two questionnaires. Conclusion: The EBIPQ and ECIPQ prove to be valid, reliable, and relevant instruments for measuring bullying and cyberbullying among adolescents in Ecuador.
