Maternal triglyceride levels and neonatal outcomes: the Japan Environment and Children's Study

Intrauterine exposures and maternal health status influence the neonatal outcomes such as low birth weight, preterm birth and small for gestational age. The mother's nutrition and metabolism are major determinants of fetal growth1,2. Previous studies suggest that the maternal lipid profiles during pregnancy may provide an additional source of energy to the fetus, potentially influencing fetal adiposity and growth.
