The findings suggest that eating fish that are good sources of the fatty acids EPA and DHA may help reduce the risk of preterm birth. <\/p>\n<div id=\"prni_dvprnejpg0f28left\" style=\"WIDTH: 100%; TEXT-ALIGN: left\" dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"prnejpg0f28left\" title=\"March of Dimes Foundation Logo \" style=\"HEIGHT: 91px; WIDTH: 400px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"March of Dimes Foundation Logo \" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/513643\/March_of_Dimes_Foundation_Logo.jpg\"\/><\/div>\n<p>The study will be published online today in <i>EBioMedicine<\/i> by a team led by Sjurdur F. Olsen, M.D., from Centre for Fetal Programming at Statens Serum Institut in <span class=\"xn-location\">Copenhagen, Denmark<\/span>. He is a former March of Dimes grantee and undertook the study with colleagues at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;March of Dimes is committed to finding solutions to preterm birth and to giving all babies the best possible start in life,&#8221; says <span class=\"xn-person\">Kelle H. Moley<\/span>, M.D., senior vice president and chief scientific officer at March of Dimes. &#8220;It will be important to replicate these findings in other populations outside of <span class=\"xn-location\">Denmark<\/span>, but we are very impressed by the power of these results and the weight of evidence. March of Dimes recommends that women who are pregnant or thinking of having a baby <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marchofdimes.org\/pregnancy\/vitamins-and-other-nutrients-during-pregnancy.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">eat fish that are low in mercury and good sources of EPA and DHA<\/a>, like herring, salmon, trout, and anchovies, as well as orange juice, milk and eggs that have EPA and DHA added to them. Pregnant women should get 200 mg (micrograms) of DHA each day from food or supplements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Premature birth affects 15 million babies each year worldwide and is on the rise in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span>. Recently released provisional data for 2017 from the National Center for Health Statistics show that the preterm birth rate in the U.S. has reached 9.93 percent, up from 9.85 in 2016, the third consecutive annual increase after steady declines over the previous seven years. <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Olsen has been studying for many years the hypothesis that low levels of the long-chain fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (EPA and DHA) may be a major risk factor for preterm birth. For this new study, the team examined data from the Danish National Birth Cohort, a nationwide study following 96,000 children in <span class=\"xn-location\">Denmark<\/span> through questionnaires and registry linkages. They analyzed blood samples from 376 women who gave birth very prematurely (prior to 34 weeks of gestation) between 1996 and 2003 and 348 women who did not, all during their first and second trimesters of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>Analysis of the blood samples showed that women who with the lowest serum levels of EPA and DHA \u2014 1.6 percent or less \u2014 had a 10 times higher risk of early preterm birth when compared with women in the highest levels. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Plasma Concentrations of Long Chain N-3 Fatty Acids in Early and Mid-Pregnancy and Risk of Early Preterm Birth,&#8221; Olsen S.F., Halldorsson T.I., <span class=\"xn-person\">Thorne-Lyman A.L<\/span>.,\u00a0 Str\u00f8m M.,\u00a0 G\u00f8rtz S., Granstr\u00f8m C., Nielsen P.H., Wohlfahrt J., Lykke J.A., Langhoff-Roos J., Cohen A.S., Furtado J.D., Giovannucci E.L., Zhou W., appeared online <span class=\"xn-chron\">July 31, 2018<\/span>, <i>EBioMedicine<\/i>, doi: 10.1016\/j.ebiom.2018.07.009 <\/p>\n<p>March of Dimes leads the fight for the health of all moms and babies.
