There’s an exciting new study starting up in our province.
It’s called the APRON study – the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition study. It involves 16 researchers – half in Calgary, half in Edmonton. They looking to recruit a whopping 10 thousand prengant women!!
They’re measuring the nutritional habits of these women as early as the first trimester of pregnancy. They will keep measuring nutrient levels until baby is born and then baby up to the age of 3. They want to see how prenatal nutrition affects mom’s and baby’s physical and mental health.
