  • Ethno-Specific Risk Factors for Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes

    Open AccessTomasina Stacey, Stephanie Prady et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2016

    Objectives Preterm birth (PTB) and small for gestational age (SGA) are major causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Previous studies indicated a range of risk factors associated with these poor outcomes, including maternal psychosocial and economic wellbeing. This paper will explore a range of psycho-social and economic factors in an ethnically diverse population. Methods The UK's Born in Bradford cohort study recruited pregnant women atten…

  • Maternal alcohol intake prior to and during pregnancy and risk of adverse birth outcomes

    Open AccessCamilla Nykjaer, Nisreen A Alwan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2014Cited by: 6References: 20

    BACKGROUND: Evidence is conflicting regarding the relationship between low maternal alcohol consumption and birth outcomes. This paper aimed to investigate the association between alcohol intake before and during pregnancy with birth weight and gestational age and to examine the effect of timing of exposure. METHODS: A prospective cohort in Leeds, UK, of 1303 pregnant women aged 18-45 years. Questionnaires assessed alcohol consumption before preg…

  • P1-74 Is iron intake during early pregnancy associated with size at birth? Insights revealed through structural equation modelling

    Nisreen A Alwan, N Alwan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction Iron deficiency during early pregnancy is associated with adverse birth outcomes. Results of studies investigating the relationship between dietary iron intake during pregnancy and birth size are conflicting. Methods We aimed to investigate the association between iron intake during pregnancy and birth size in a prospective cohort of 1274 pregnant women (18–45 years) in Leeds, UK, where iron supplements are not routinely recommended …

  • Photoperiod at conception predicts C677T‐MTHFR genotype

    Open AccessMark Lucock, Tracey Glanville et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2010

    Data is presented, which suggest that the day length a woman experiences during the periconceptional period predicts the C677T‐MTHFR genotype of her child. Logistic regression analysis involving 375 neonates born in the same geographical location within a three year period demonstrated that photoperiod (minutes) at conception predicts both genotype ( P = 0.0139) and mutant allele carriage ( P = 0.0161); the trend clearly showing that the 677T‐MTH…
