| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to identify predictors of postpartum depression and objective methods of detecting early signs, we designed a prospective study to examine the association between autonomic function and stress markers during pregnancy and postpartum psychological measures. However, we had to make a substantial change in the study methodology due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, we conducted a retrospective pilot study using medical record data stored residual serum to examine the association between non-anemic iron deficiency without anemia(NAID) in early pregnancy and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Questionnaire (EPDS) total scores. We defined iron deficiency as ferritin <30 ng/mL. In the NAID group, EPDS total scores were significantly inceased from mid-pregnancy to one month postpartum, while there was no significant change in the normal group. The results suggested that NAID in early pregnancy may be an exacerbating factor for perinatal depressive symptoms.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
産後の貧血が産後うつ病のリスク因子であることは既に知られているが、本研究は妊娠初期のNAIDが周産期メンタルヘルスのレジリアンスを低下させるリスク因子である可能性を国内外で初めて示したものとなる。妊婦健診でも一般的な健康診断でもヘモグロビン値で貧血の有無を判別するのみであるため通常NAIDは見過ごされているが、妊娠初期からの、ひいてはプレコンセプション・ステージからのNAIDの検出と対策が産後うつ病を予防する方策となる可能性が考えられ、さらなる研究が必要である。
