Article Synopsis
- This study investigated how maternal copper levels during pregnancy affect the risk of preterm birth (PTB) and the length of gestation.
- In a large group of 10,449 pregnancies from 18 different regions, researchers found that higher maternal copper levels were linked to an increased risk of PTB and shorter pregnancy duration.
- The findings suggest that elevated copper levels may be associated with inflammation and infections, potentially impacting pregnancy outcomes.
