Optimal nutrition during pregnancy is important for healthy babies and children. My interests are focused on how maternal micronutrient status influences birth and childhood outcomes.

My long-term research goals are to use existing cohorts, in which components of maternal diet, particularly micronutrients, assessed by dietary intake methodologies or by biomarkers, are compared to pregnancy outcomes and subsequent disease risk. In addition, genotyping mother and infant will allow the assessment of the potential interaction between maternal diet, variation in genes, and outcome.

My research will include clinical trials to rigorously test these associations as well as dose response trials will to determine requirements or optimal intakes of dietary constituents during pregnancy.

Iodine in Pregnancy

Australia recommends all pregnant and breastfeeding women take iodine supplements to prevent severe intellectual disabilities in children caused by iodine deficiency. This recommendation is based on data from countries with profound iodine deficiency, even though iodine levels among Australian women of reproductive age vary from moderate deficiency to adequate, depending on the location.

Observational studies indicate a U-shaped relationship between iodine intake and child neurodevelopment, suggesting that both low and high iodine intakes can lead to poorer outcomes. This implies there is an optimal "Goldilocks zone" for iodine intake that supports the best neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Study Overview
Objective: To determine the effect of reducing iodine intake from supplements on the cognitive development of children at 24 months of age.
Concern: Both low and high iodine intakes during pregnancy are linked to poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes in children inobservational studies based on our own work and others.

Methods and Analysis:
• Design: Multicentre, randomised, controlled, double-blind trial with two parallel groups.
• Participants: 754 women less than 13 weeks' gestation with an iodine intake of =165 µg/day from food.
• Inclusion Criteria: All eligible women must have an iodine intake of over 180 µg/day based on a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).
• Intervention: Randomisation to receive either a low iodine (20 µg/day) or a standard iodine (200 µg/day) multivitamin and mineral supplement until delivery.
• Primary Outcome: Developmental quotient of infants at 24 months, assessed using the Cognitive Scale of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, fourth edition.
• Secondary Outcomes: Infant language and motor development, behavioural and emotional development, maternal and infant clinical outcomes, and health service utilisation.

Progress:
• After screening nearly 10,000 women, 800 have been enrolled in the study.
• Of these, 400 infants have reached the age for Bayley Scales assessment.

Optimising folic acid supplementation in pregnancy

Folic acid (FA) is a crucial supplement for women before and during early pregnancy to help prevent neural tube defects in babies. These defects occur in the first month of pregnancy, so taking FA early on is essential. However, after the first trimester (12 weeks), the benefits of continuing FA are unclear, and some studies suggest it might even cause problems like gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

The Concern: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)
GDM is a condition that affects 1 in 6 pregnancies in Australia. It involves high blood sugar levels during pregnancy, which can lead to complications for both mother and baby. Some animal studies have shown that high levels of FA can cause insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, which are risk factors for GDM. But these studies aren't enough to change current guidelines.

The Study: Aiming for Clarity
To address this, we're conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to see if stopping FA after 12 weeks of pregnancy can reduce the risk of GDM and other issues like preterm birth and large-for-gestational-age (LGA) babies. Here's how it works:
• Participants: Women between 12-16 weeks pregnant.
• Groups: One group will continue taking a daily prenatal supplement with 500 µg of FA, while the other group will take a supplement without FA.
• Primary Outcome: GDM diagnosis, assessed by a 2-hour 75 g Oral Glucose Tolerance Test at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy.
• Sample Size: 2,826 women, providing 90% power to detect a 26% reduction in GDM rates.

Why This Matters
This study could provide the high-quality evidence needed to update guidelines on FA use during pregnancy. By understanding the impact of FA on GDM and other outcomes, we can better support the health of both mothers and their babies. Additionally, this research will offer valuable biochemical and clinical data that other investigators can build upon to explore further maternal and child health outcomes.

Opportunities
This will represent the largest study of women exposed and not et exposed to folic acid after the first trimester. We are seeking funding to look at other outcomes such as food allergy, peri-natal depression, as well as neuro-development.
