Lifestyle interventions for overweight and obese pregnant women to improve pregnancy outcome: systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity pose a big challenge to pregnancy as they are associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcome. Evidence of lifestyle intervention resulting in improved pregnancy outcome is conflicting.

Maternal psychosocial risk factors and offspring gestational epigenetic age acceleration in a South African birth cohort study [PDF]

, 2018
Epigenetic age (EA) acceleration is associated with higher risk of chronic disease and mortality in adults. However, little is known about whether and how in utero exposures might shape gestational EA acceleration at birth. We aimed to explore associations between maternal psychosocial risk factors and offspring gestational EA acceleration at birth in
