What this trial studies

This observational cohort study aims to investigate the effects of maternal iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy on the health outcomes of offspring. Pregnant women visiting Tampere University Hospital will be recruited to complete an online questionnaire regarding their iron status, supplementation, and any chronic conditions. The study will follow approximately 6000 mother-child pairs, tracking the health of the children from birth until the age of 7. Data will be collected from medical records to assess the impact of maternal iron levels on neonatal and childhood health.
