Maternal Iron Status in Pregnancy and Long-Term Health Outcomes in the Offspring
Nisreen A Alwan,Hanan Hamamy +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence from experimental animal models suggests that maternal ID during pregnancy is associated with fetal growth restriction, as well as offspring obesity and high blood pressure later in life, and the possible biological mechanisms may be due to ID-induced changes in placental structure and function, enzyme expression, nutrient absorption, and fetal organ development.

Semiparametric Transformation Approach to Estimating Usual Daily Intake Distributions, A
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology for estimating usual intake distributions that allows for varying degrees of departure from normality and recognizes the measurement error associated with daily dietary intakes is presented, based on a sample of individuals with a small number of daily observations on each individual.

A Semiparametric Transformation Approach to Estimating Usual Daily Intake Distributions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a methodology for estimating the usual intake distributions that allows for varying degrees of departure from normality and recognizes the measurement error associated with one-day dietary intakes.
