Abstract Deficiency of essential trace element, Se, has been implicated in adverse birth outcomes and in child linear growth because of its important role in redox biology and associated antioxidant effects. We used data from a randomised controlled trial conducted among a cohort of pregnant and lac...

Vitamin D is a key regulator of bone mineral homeostasis and may modulate maternal bone health during pregnancy and postpartum. Using previously-collected data from the Maternal Vitamin D for Infant Growth (MDIG) trial in Dhaka, Bangladesh, we aimed to investigate the effects of prenatal and postpar...

Abstract Deficiency of selenium, an essential trace element, has been implicated in adverse birth outcomes and the growth of infants and young children. We used data from a randomized controlled trial to examine associations between selenium biomarkers in whole blood (WBSe), serum and selenoprotein ...

To estimate the associations of maternal and fetal selenium status [whole blood selenium (WBSe), serum selenium (SerumSe) and selenoprotein P (SEPP1)] with infant growth at birth and 12 months. This study included a sub-sample from the randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-arm Maternal Vitamin D for...
