Environmental chemical exposures during pregnancy and women's cardio-metabolic health
Project Summary While much research has been devoted to exploring the impact of environmental chemical exposures during pregnancy on infant and child health, relatively little attention has focused on the potential influence of these exposures on maternal health. Recent evidence suggests that pregnancy may be a sensitive period in the life course, during which chemical exposures may have long-lasting effects on cardio-metabolic disease risk among women. Using a well-characterized existing cohort study that enrolled 1,410 pregnant women in 2009- 2014, we propose the following aims: (1) quantify the relationship between environmental exposures during pregnancy and short-term maternal health…
