Job Summary:

This project aims to pool and harmonize data from multiple pregnancy cohorts and clinical studies across India to understand gestational weight gain (GWG) patterns among Indian women and their association with maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes. The study will evaluate the applicability of existing international GWG standards, identify trajectories of weight gain during pregnancy, and assess their relationship with outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight, small-for-gestational-age births, gestational diabetes, and hypertensive disorders. Findings from this large-scale secondary data analysis will contribute to developing evidence-based, India-specific recommendations for monitoring and optimizing gestational weight gain during pregnancy.
