Female infertility is a significant healthcare burden that is frequently encountered among couples globally. While environmental factors, comorbidities, and lifestyle determine reproductive health, certain genetic variants in key reproductive genes can potentially cause unsuccessful pregnancies. Such crucial proteins have been identified within the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) and play an integral role in the early stages of embryogenesis before embryo implantation.

Maternal obesity increases risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) by up to 42%. Identifying metabolic features that may contribute to the association between maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and BPD is critical in defining the molecular relationship between these conditions. We investigated the association between maternal obesity and BPD using newborn screen metabolites as an explanatory variable.

Background: Termination of pregnancy continues to be one of the major public health problems. The prevalence and determinants associated with pregnancy termination among women from low-middle income countries such as Tanzania have previously not been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, this study aims to explore the prevalence and determinants associated with pregnancy termination among Tanzanian women.

Background: Proactively preventing postpartum weight retention (PPWR) is one of the effective intervention strategies to reduce the occurrence of obesity in women. Population studies have shown that serum folate levels are closely related to body weight. The regulation of folic acid on lipid metabolism has been fully confirmed in both in vivo and in vitro studies.

Background: Pregnancy is a unique stage of the life course characterized by trade-offs between the nutritional, immune, and metabolic needs of the mother and fetus. The Camden Study was originally initiated to examine nutritional status, growth, and birth outcomes in adolescent pregnancies and expanded to study dietary and molecular predictors of pregnancy complications and birth outcomes in young women.
Methods: From 1985-2006, 4765 pregnant participants aged 12 years and older were recruited from Camden, NJ, one of the poorest cities in the US.
