Effects of prenatal sex hormones on behavioral sexual dimorphism

Background We investigated the association between the hormone environment during the prenatal period using cord blood, and gender‐role play behavior in school‐aged children. Methods A total of 879 school‐aged children (433 boys and 446 girls) in a prospective birth cohort study in Hokkaido were enr...

description Background We investigated the association between the hormone environment during the prenatal period using cord blood, and gender‐role play behavior in school‐aged children. Methods A total of 879 school‐aged children (433 boys and 446 girls) in a prospective birth cohort study in Hokkaido were enrolled to analyze the relationship between cord blood level of the sex hormones estradiol (E), testosterone (T), progesterone (P), and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and the Pre‐School Activities Inventory (PSAI) score. The PSAI evaluated sex‐typical characteristics, the type of preferred toys and play activities. The PSAI consists of 12 masculine and 12 feminine items, and the composite scores were calculated by subtracting the feminine score from the masculine score. Higher scores indicated male‐typical behavior. Results Composite and masculine PSAI scores were significantly higher in boys. Meanwhile, the feminine score was significantly lower in boys. Although T and P were significantly higher in boys, E/T was significantly higher in girls. In a multivariate regression model, including covariates of social factors, there was no correlation between any of the hormones and PSAI score in boys. In girls, only P and E/T were positively correlated with the feminine score. Conclusions Prenatal sex hormone exposure may influence the dimorphic brain development and behavior in school‐aged girls. Furthermore, the cord blood hormone levels may not fully reflect the hormone environment during the prenatal period.
