Title of project:
Reproductive factors and the risk of pregnancy complications
Proposal summary:
The reproductive factors including lifestyle, disease status, infection, medication use, nutrient supplements, physical activity, and mental health are associated with pregnancy complications. The adverse outcomes of pregnancy confront the world as a major challenge, with extensive impact on individuals, families, and societies at large. This study will take advantage of the data provided by the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children to quantify the risk of possible adverse outcomes of pregnancy, and present opportunities to reduce the burden associated with congenital disorders at a population level.
Impact of research:
Our research may offer more insights into the etiologies of offspring developmental failure on the central nervous system, cognition and intelligence. This may help individuals to choose a more scientific way to avoid maternal exposure to bad factors and get close to good factors, to guarantee a healthy child, or help the governments and medical institutions to establish more appropriate strategies for better maternal and child health care.
