Health of Father-to-Be Linked to Pregnancy Loss Risk

A retrospective study that looked at pregnancies between 2009 and 2016 published December 18, 2020, in Human Reproduction found that if a father-to-be has three or more medical conditions that are part of metabolic syndrome: obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, the risk for losing a pregnancy was 27 percent compared with 10 percent for men who had no medical conditions. RELATED: There’s a Link Between Paternal Health and Pregnancy Loss “Preconception counseling, things like prenatal vitamins and living a healthy lifestyle, has only focused on women. This is the first study to show an association between the preconception paternal health and pregnancy loss,” says Michael Eisenberg, MD, associate professor of urology at Stanford University School of Medicine in Palo Alto, California, and lead author of the study.

Pregnancies with unhealthy fathers more likely to end in loss: study

TORONTO A new study suggests that pregnancies involving unhealthy fathers are more likely to end in loss, and researchers say couples hoping to become parents should pay more attention to paternal health in the lead-up to pregnancy. The study, published Thursday in the scientific journal Human Reproduction, studied nearly 1 million U.S. pregnancies between 2009 and 2016. Researchers analyzed pregnancies involving fathers diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, a widespread condition that includes obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure, and compared those pregnancies to those involving healthy fathers. Metabolic syndrome is very common in Canada. About one in five people live with the condition, according to Metabolic Syndrome Canada.

Vaccinating Black Americans Is Essential Key States Aren t Doing the Work to Combat Hesitancy

This article was published on Friday, December 18, 2020 in ProPublica. Though African Americans are being hospitalized for COVID-19 at more than triple the rate of white Americans, wariness of the new vaccine is higher in the Black population than in most communities. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlighted communities of color as a critical population to vaccinate. But ProPublica found little in the way of concrete action to make sure that happens. It will be up to states to make sure residents get the vaccine, but ProPublica reviewed the distribution plans of the nine states with the most Black residents and found that many have barely invested in overcoming historic mistrust of the medical establishment and high levels of vaccine hesitancy in the Black community. Few states could articulate specific measures they are taking to address the vaccine skepticism.
