“…These factors can include limited access to prenatal and childhood health care; inadequate nutrition; infectious diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, or HIV/AIDS; and poor socioeconomic conditions. 91 Migrants who experience these challenges during their formative years are more likely to carry the burden of poor early life factors, making them susceptible to an increased risk of CVDs in adulthood upon migration.…”

Europe and North America are the 2 largest recipients of international migrants from low‐resource regions in the world. Here, large differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and death exist between migrants and the host populations. This review discusses the CVD burden and its most important contributors among the largest migrant groups in Europe and North America as well as the consequences of migration to high‐income countries on CVD diagnosis and therapy. The available evidence indicates that migrants in Europe and North America generally have a higher CVD risk compared with the host populations. Cardiometabolic, behavioral, and psychosocial factors are important contributors to their increased CVD risk. However, despite these common denominators, there are important ethnic differences in the propensity to develop CVD that relate to pre‐ and postmigration factors, such as socioeconomic status, cultural factors, lifestyle, psychosocial stress, access to health care and health care usage. Some of these pre‐ and postmigration environmental factors may interact with genetic (epigenetics) and microbial factors, which further influence their CVD risk. The limited number of prospective cohorts and clinical trials in migrant populations remains an important culprit for better understanding pathophysiological mechanism driving health differences and for developing ethnic‐specific CVD risk prediction and care. Only by improved understanding of the complex interaction among human biology, migration‐related factors, and sociocultural determinants of health influencing CVD risk will we be able to mitigate these differences and truly make inclusive personalized treatment possible.

“…There are many studies in the literature that reveal the relationship of maternal morbidity and mortality with these parameters. [4][5][6] The postponement of the age of pregnancy has increased the rate of advanced-age pregnancies; hence, the investigation of complications developing due to advanced-age pregnancies has recently come to the fore.…”

Aim: To determine possible risks for mother and baby in advanced age pregnancies. Materials and Methods: This study is a retrospective archive review examining 14192 cases who gave live births between 24 and 42 weeks between 2020-2023. Results: The frequency of preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, rupture of membranes and possible miscarriage was high in advanced-age pregnant women compared to other groups. When the groups were compared according to neonatal outcomes, the frequency of low birth weight in adolescence was high than in advanced-age pregnant women. When the groups were compared in terms of macrosomia, the frequency of macrosomia was high in the older age group than in the other groups. Conclusion: It should be known that pregnancies at an advanced-age can be more complicated for both mother and baby, and pregnancy follow-up should be done more carefully.

The interaction between the environment and maternal health is critical to public health. It impacts the well-being of pregnant women globally. This paper investigates the connections between multiple environmental factors and their impact on maternal health, emphasizing the challenges and potential interventions. In diverse settings, ecological conditions shape maternal health outcomes. Factors such as air and water quality, sanitation, chemical exposure, nutritional food, and climate change play pivotal roles. The disparities in environmental exposures contribute to varying risks for pregnant women, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). The detrimental effects of environmental pollution, inadequate sanitation, a rise in temperature, and limited access to healthcare services are explored concerning maternal health outcomes. Additionally, the abstract highlights the interconnectedness of socio-economic factors, cultural influences, and healthcare-seeking behaviour in shaping the impact of the environment on expectant mothers. Recognizing the complexity of these factors is essential for designing targeted interventions to improve maternal health in low-resource settings. The abstract concludes by advocating for comprehensive strategies encompassing healthcare improvements, environmental stewardship, and community empowerment to mitigate adverse environmental impacts on maternal health. Understanding and addressing these dynamics are crucial steps toward ensuring the well-being of mothers and promoting sustainable maternal healthcare practices.
