Tracking and treating 'high-risk' pregnancies: effects on offspring obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular risk [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Megan Gow (Principal investigator)

Brief description Pregnancies complicated by obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes are more common than ever but effects of complications on the offspring are poorly described. This research program will a) determine how complicated pregnancies influence the health of the offspring by examining longitudinal data from three studies; and b) determine whether lifestyle interventions for women who experience complicated pregnancies improve health outcomes of the offspring.
