NCT ID NCT04613583

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how a mother's lifestyle—like smoking, drinking, or exposure to pollution—can affect her baby's development in the womb. Researchers will collect tissues and information from 1,200 pregnancies (7-20 weeks) to understand how these factors may lead to health problems later in life, such as obesity or high blood pressure. No treatments are given; the goal is to gather knowledge to improve future prenatal care.
