SUMMARY:Maternal health in pregnancy: a window into the future? - Dr Abiga
 il Fraser\, University of Bristol
DTSTART:20151125T140000Z

CONTACT:Narinder Bansal
DESCRIPTION:A growing body of evidence indicates that women with a history
  of common pregnancy complications and their offspring are at increased ri
 sk for cardiovascular disease later in life. I will explore the potential 
 mechanisms underlying these associations and discuss whether it is likely 
 that pregnancy complications are causally associated with both maternal an
 d offspring cardiovascular health or not. I will also discuss implications
  for future research and policy. \n\nDr. Abigail Fraser is an epidemiologi
 st based at the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit at the University of Bri
 stol. Her research focuses on women's reproductive health and cardiometabo
 lic health across the life course\, and the cross talk between the two. Sh
 e is particularly interested in taking a life course approach to women's r
 eproductive health and in improving causal inference by applying a variety
  of analytical approaches such as use of negative controls\, sibling compa
 risons\, and Mendelian randomization in her research.\n
