Mother's heart health and child growth
A recent study revealed that a mother's heart health before and during pregnancy significantly impacts her child's growth in the early years. Poor heart health is associated with increased risks of growth delays and developmental setbacks in children. The findings showed that 17% of children born to mothers with compromised heart health experience growth delays, compared to 9% among those whose mothers have good heart health. Additionally, poor maternal heart health increases the risk of growth delay by 62%. The study also confirmed that a mother's health influences all aspects of a child's development, especially social development, and emphasizes the importance of improving a mother's lifestyle through a healthy diet, physical activity, and adequate sleep.
