Background: Language development during early childhood is considered an important marker of fetal neurodevelopment. Prenatal cortisol exposure plays a critical role in maturation of the fetal brain; however, the effect on offspring language development needs further investigation. This study aimed to evaluate the association between maternal 3rd trimester cortisol and early longitudinal offspring language development and to test whether there was sex differences in...
