Summary

This study follows 6,000 pregnant women in rural Pakistan to understand how high environmental temperatures impact pregnancy and birth outcomes. Researchers will monitor heat exposure, collect blood and urine samples, and track the health of mothers and babies for up to a year after birth. The goal is to identify biological pathways linking heat stress to complications like low birth weight and preterm birth, helping guide future public health protections.
