Dietry Pattern and Lead Levels in Pregnancy

NCT03408275 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2167

Last updated 2018-01-23

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

During pregnancy lead crosses the placenta freely and can have adverse effects on the fetus, with the potential for life-long impact on the child. Identification of dietary patterns and food groups in pregnancy in relation to measures of lead status could provide a more useful alternative to a nutrient-specific advice to minimise fetal exposure to lead during pregnancy. The aim is to evaluate whether dietary patterns and food groups are associated with blood lead concentrations in pregnancy.
