Extreme hot or cold stress affects baby's birth weight
A new study conducted at the Curtin Population Health School in Perth shows that excessive hot or cold stress, especially exposed during the last period of pregnancy, can affect the birth weight of babies.
Amazing findings from work:[
Home The study examined more than 385 thousand pregnancy in Western Australia between 2000-2015. [
Home Effects of pregnant women suffering from different temperature conditions were analyzed using Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI).
Home It was determined that exposure to excessive hot or cold stress during pregnancy increases the risk of abnormal birth weight.
]
Home Dehydration of exposure to thermal stress (the loss of excess fluid from the body) is thought to negatively affect the health of developing babies.
It also affects the health of urea]
The research reveals that climate change is not limited only by environmental effects, but also poses a threat that may affect reproductive health. The findings prove how the climate crisis creates a wide range of effects in the health field, and especially under the risk of sensitive groups, once again, and the measures to be taken for the health of generations.
