Summary

This study follows 6,000 pregnant women in rural Pakistan to understand how high temperatures impact pregnancy and birth outcomes. Researchers will track heat exposure, collect blood and urine samples, and monitor 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 public health strategies in hot climates.
