A study by researchers at the University of Cincinnati in the United States says babies of women who experience stress during pregnancy are at risk of developing diseases such as asthma, obesity, autism, among others., notes psychosocial factors creating stress. They include lack of social support, loneliness, marriage status or bereavement, all of which they say may mutate a baby’s mitochondrial DNA and could be a precursor to a host of diseases.
“The foetal and infant period is a vulnerable time for environmental exposure due to heightened development during these periods. The researchers sequenced the mitochondrial genome and identified mutations in 365 placenta samples from birth mothers in Boston and New York City from 2013 to 2018. “The hope is to gain insight as to why certain children are vulnerable to developing a range of complex conditions previously linked to environmental exposures such as chronic stress or air pollution.”
