The aim of this study was to investigate the association of sociodemographic factors, lifestyle, maternal reproductive profile and prenatal and childbirth care with neonatal near miss (NNM) morbidity in four birth cohorts. This study involved four population-based birth cohorts: Ribeirão Preto (RP) and São Luís (SL) (2010), Pelotas 2004 (PEL04) and 2015 (PEL15). NNM was defined when one or more of the following conditions were present: birthweight <1,500 g, 5-minute Apgar score <7, gestational age <32 weeks, and report of congenital malformations.

- Excess body fat is linked to reduced lung function, potentially increasing mortality risk, but past studies have shown mixed results regarding the relationship between obesity and pulmonary health.
- This study involved 1,746 participants using data from a Brazilian birth cohort, evaluating how both simple obesity measures (like BMI and waist circumference) and advanced body composition methods (like DXA and BOD POD) relate to lung function parameters (FEV1 and FVC).
- Results indicated that increases in BMI and fat mass are associated with significant declines in FEV1 and FVC for both genders, with stronger effects observed in men, suggesting that even simple measurements can effectively reflect these associations.
