Award for a study investigating the impact of in utero cardiometabolic environment on cardiovascular health in offspring, funded by NHLBI, involving multiple health assessments and collaboration with Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
Description
The project involves a comprehensive investigation of the cardiometabolic in utero environment and its association with cardiovascular health and arterial injury in young-adult offspring. It aims to understand the timing, pathways, and mechanisms of intergenerational transfer of cardiovascular disease risk. The project includes assessments of blood pressure, adiposity, lipids, glycemia, lifestyle behaviors, carotid ultrasonography, and DNA methylation analysis. It is part of the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) Study cohort and involves collaboration with the Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. The project is funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI).
