Mercury and urinary arsenobetaine in blood are strong biomarkers for seafood consumption among pregnant women karolinskainst umeauniversity goteborgsuni pregnancy biomarkers biomarker pregnant seafood
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaMar 10 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in Environmental Research, researchers assess several probable biomarkers for self-documented lean fish, fatty fish, shellfish, and total seafood intake among pregnant female participants of the Nutritional Impact on the Immunological Maturation During Childhood in Relation to the Environment study in Sweden.
Importantly, seafood might comprise environment-polluting substances such as arsenic and methylmercury. However, data on methylmercury as a seafood intake biomarker are limited. Arsenic-comprising substances were separated by ion exchange involving high-performance liquid chromatography . Biomarker data were obtained using food consumption questionnaires that were completed by the participants at gestational week 34.
However, 599 women ultimately provided serum and urine samples, and seafood intake data was valid for 554 women. The median values for participant age and seafood intake in late pregnancy were 30.5 years and 26 grams/day, respectively.

Medical, behavioural and social preconception and interconception risk factors among pregnancy planning and recently pregnant Canadian womenObjectives The objective of this study is to describe the clustering of medical, behavioural and social preconception and interconception health risk factors and determine demographic factors associated with these risk clusters among Canadian women. Design Cross-sectional data were collected via an online questionnaire assessing a range of preconception risk factors. Prevalence of each risk factor and the total number of risk factors present was calculated. Multivariable logistic regression models determined which demographic factors were associated with having greater than the mean number of risk factors. Exploratory factor analysis determined how risk factors clustered, and Spearman’s r determined how demographic characteristics related to risk factors within each cluster. Setting Canada. Participants Participants were recruited via advertisements on public health websites, social media, parenting webpages and referrals from ongoing studies or existing research datasets. Women were eligible to participate if they could read and understand English, were able to access a telephone or the internet, and were either planning a first pregnancy (preconception) or had ≥1 child in the past 5 years and were thus in the interconception period. Results Most women (n=1080) were 34 or older, and were in the interconception period (98%). Most reported risks in only one of the 12 possible risk factor categories (55%), but women reported on average 4 risks each. Common risks were a history of caesarean section (33.1%), miscarriage (27.2%) and high birth weight (13.5%). Just over 40% had fair or poor eating habits, and nearly half were not getting enough physical activity. Three-quarters had a body mass index indicating overweight or obesity. Those without a postsecondary degree (OR 2.35; 95% CI 1.74 to 3.17) and single women (OR 2.22, 95% CI 1.25 to 3.96) had over twice the odds of having more risk factors. Those with two children or more had 60% lower odds of having more risk fac
