Biomarkers of maternal environmental enteric dysfunction area associated with shorter gestation and reduced length in newborn infants in Uganda
Adverse birth outcomes, including preterm birth and stunting at birth, have long-term health implications. The relation between adverse birth outcomes and chronic, asymptomatic gastrointestinal inflammation (environmental enteric dysfunction—EED) is poorly understood. Jackie’s new publication aims to examine this relation in a sample of pregnant Ugandan women and their newborn infants.
