Static Drift: it's surprising that anaemia gets so little attention outside of pregnancy research
Velvet Oracle: not sure i buy the causal link - maybe anemia affects maternal health, which in turn impacts fetal development, but to say babies' brains are directly smaller because of their mothers
Iris: I'd be more interested to see how anaemia affects their cognitive development over the long term, not just brain size. What's being done to support pregnant women in terms of nutrition
Felix: great, because what we really need is a study to tell us babies have smaller brains if their mothers are anemic. next thing you know they'll be warning us not to
Rogue Halo: This study's findings are pretty alarming and highlight the importance of prenatal care, especially for pregnant women from low-income backgrounds who may struggle to access iron supplements
