Abstract Background Anemia is a common disease which affects around 40% of children and 30% reproductive age women can have major health consequences. The present study reports the global, regional national burden anemia its underlying causes between 1990 2019, by age, sex socio-demographic index (SDI). Methods Publicly available data on point prevalence years lived with disability (YLDs) were retrieved from global (GBD) 2019 for 204 countries territories 2019. prevalence, YLD counts rates...
Background Obesity increases the risk for developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia (PE), which both associate with increased type 2 (T2DM) cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women later life. In general population, metabolic syndrome (MetS) associates T2DM CVD. The impact of maternal MetS on pregnancy outcomes, nulliparous pregnant women, has not been investigated. Methods findings Low-risk, were recruited to multi-centre, international prospective Screening Pregnancy...
It is unknown whether a low-fat diet, which may elevate triglycerides and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, harms the endothelium. Our aim was to determine low-fat, high-carbohydrate (CARB) diet impaired endothelial vasodilation compared with high saturated fat (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), or polyunsaturated (PUFA) diets.Forty healthy subjects were randomly crossed over 4, 3-week isocaloric diets in PUFA, MUFA, SFA, containing at least 25 g of relevant CARB, high-glycemic...
Background There is increasing information characterizing menstrual cycle length in women, but less available on the potential differences across lifestyle variables. Objective This study aimed to describe length, variability, and phase women of different ages BMI among a global cohort Flo app users. We have also reported demographic characteristics median lengths. Methods The analysis was run based aggregated anonymized dataset from tracker ovulation calendar that covers all phases...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms and pre- peri-conception folic acid (FA) supplementation dietary data were used to identify one-carbon metabolic factors associated with pregnancy outcomes in 3196 nulliparous women. In 325 participants, we also measured circulating folate, vitamin B12 homocysteine. Pregnancy included preeclampsia (PE), gestational hypertension (GHT), small for age (SGA), spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) diabetes mellitus (GDM). Study findings show that maternal genotype MTHFR...
Is preconception dietary intake associated with reduced fecundity as measured by a longer time to pregnancy (TTP)?Lower of fruit and higher fast food in the period were both TTP.Several lifestyle factors, such smoking obesity, have consistently been TTP or infertility, but role diet women remains poorly studied. Healthier foods patterns improved fertility, however, these studies focused on already diagnosed receiving treatments for rather than general population.This was multi-center...
Trace elements such as zinc, copper, and selenium are essential for reproductive health, but there is limited work examining how circulating trace may associate with fertility in humans. The aim of this study was to determine the association between maternal plasma concentrations selenium, time pregnancy subfertility. Australian women (n = 1060) who participated multi-centre prospective Screening Pregnancy Endpoints were included. Maternal zinc assessed at 15 ± 1 weeks’ gestation. Estimates...
