Study risk of fatty liver in low birth weight adults
This study looks at whether being born with low birth weight is linked to a higher chance of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (fatty liver not caused by heavy drinking). It compares people born with low birth weight to people born with typical birth weight to better understand risk factors.
HerlevAges 34–49 - NCT05966649Recruiting
Synbiotics for preventing preterm birth in higher-risk pregnancies

Helping partners get the Tdap vaccine during pregnancy
