Pregnancy Research on Inflammation, Nutrition, & City Environment: Systematic Analyses Study cohort (PRINCESA)
The PRINCESA cohort was set up to evaluate associations between air pollution and birth outcomes among pregnant persons in Mexico City, Mexico. Specifically, the study was designed to improve air pollution exposure assessment and elucidate biological mechanisms underlying associations between maternal exposures and adverse pregnancy outcomes. A total of 935 pregnant persons (all women) aged between 18 and 45 who lived and/or worked in metropolitan Mexico City, Mexico, from 2009 to 2015, as well as 815 liveborn singleton infants of participants who completed follow-up, were enrolled in the cohort.
