Article Synopsis
- The study explores the impact of parental epigenetic age acceleration on birth outcomes, focusing primarily on mothers, given the lack of research on fathers.
- Maternal epigenetic age acceleration was linked to shorter gestational lengths and higher standardized birthweights; however, these associations did not extend to paternal age.
- The findings indicate that maternal age acceleration may increase risks for preterm births and larger-than-average babies, emphasizing the importance of maternal health in pregnancy outcomes.
Previous studies have linked certain environmental exposures to reduced fecundability, influencing exposure recommendations. We continue to encounter numerous environmental exposures in our everyday lives, and further evidence is needed regarding their effects on fecundability. We evaluated associations between various self-reported environmental exposures and fecundability, measured as time to pregnancy, in 64,942 women and 53,219 men participating in the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort study (MoBa).

- The study investigates whether there is a link between epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) or deceleration (EAD) in both males and females and their ability to conceive (fecundability).
- It finds no strong evidence that EAA or EAD significantly affects fecundability in couples planning naturally conceived pregnancies.
- The research uses data from a large Norwegian pregnancy cohort involving 1,657 couples, measuring DNA methylation in blood samples taken during pregnancy to assess potential associations.
