Stress During Pregnancy and the Developmental Origins of Renal Disease in Aboriginal Australians

土著居民肾衰竭流行，他们的小婴儿早产率也很高。这个项目的目的是通过测试怀孕期间的压力是否会导致早产、小婴儿的肾脏发育不良，从而在以后的生活中导致肾衰竭，从而了解土著居民肾衰竭的原因。将检查压力源对孕妇的影响，包括感染、吸烟和社会压力源。

There is an epidemic of renal failure in Aboriginal people who also have high rates of premature birth of small babies. This project aims to understand the causes of kidney failure in Aboriginal people through testing if stress during pregnancy leads to the birth of preterm, small babies with small poorly formed kidneys that lead to kidney failure in later life. The effect of stressors impacting on pregnant women including infections, exposure to smoking and social stressors will be examined.
