Presentation blurb

After more than 20 years of studying how omega-3 fatty acid nutrition during pregnancy may influence pregnancy and childhood outcomes, I am delighted to share our latest data and the most recent developments in the field. Collectively, the data show that women who are deplete in omega-3 fatty acids in early pregnancy are at higher risk of early preterm birth and this risk can be significantly reduced by omega-3 supplementation. We look forward to expanding partnerships with health care providers to maximise the implementation of these findings to ultimately reduce the burden of early birth.
