Outline of Final Research Achievements

In recent years, it has been suggested that low exposure to trace elements may affect the health of pregnant women and the fetus.
Large cohort studies have been initiated in developed countries, including Japan, but the health effects in developing countries have not been adequately studied.
In this study, in cooperation with the Cooperative Medical Center in Tehran (Iran), we conducted a study in which a pregnant woman was examined at 36 weeks of gestation at A questionnaire survey and collection of venous blood was conducted on women who came to the hospital. Umbilical cord blood was collected from the subject pregnant women at the time of delivery to determine their pregnancy, delivery and newborn status. We examined the relationship between trace element concentrations in the blood collected from the subjects and these outcomes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、テヘランの研究者と協力して、環境汚染が胎児や小児に及ぼす疫学的影響を調査することができた。また、当該国に対して公衆衛生を改善するための予防策を開発するための科学的知見にもとづくデータを提供することができた。今後、日本との産業・経済交流が活発化することが予想される中東諸国の公衆衛生の向上に大きく貢献できたことは意義深い。産業・経済発展に伴う環境汚染対策における国際協力の価値は高い。特にイランのような発展途上国では、同国の研究者が研究を継続できるように研究費を得ることは非常に困難であることから、つづく大規模調査の礎となるパイロットデータを提供できたことは意義深いと考える。
