Conclusion: Measures of maternal carbohydrate metabolism, rather than fat mass, explain sonographic measurements of fetal weight.
By more than a dozen different measures of maternal and fetal health, too, the researchers could find no difference between the two groups.
Background: Large population-based studies suggest that systematic measures of maternal sensitivity predict later risk for overweight and obesity.
Measures of maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity have risen in the United States, sparking national interest regarding hospitals' ability to provide maternal risk-appropriate care.
In addition, measures of maternal attachment and delinquent peers were found to be associated with only one test of word recall ability and none of the three other recall tests.
The present study tested the hypothesis that the intake of selected nutrients in fish or measures of maternal nutritional status may represent important confounders when estimating the effects of prenatal methylmercury exposure on child development.
These include confounding between maternal report of child outcomes and the maternal psychological attributes under study, difficulties in distinguishing maternal stress from more ubiquitous aspects of maternal personality, and the lack of association between cortisol and measures of maternal psychological stress.
However, a 2011 research study conducted by Nair and Panda found that although India was able to improve some measures of maternal health since the enactment of the NHRM in 2005, the country was still far behind most emerging economies.
Cameron's results suggest that more consistent results might be obtained with more accurate measures of maternal condition.
It is possible that with larger samples that generate greater statistical power, or more accurate measures of maternal condition, more consistent patterns would emerge.
We evaluated the associations between infant CCR5 polymorphisms, measures of maternal infection, and placental expression of CCR5 among mother-infant pairs in Blantyre, Malawi.
