Study Findings on Endocrine Disorders Detailed by Researchers at Women's Hospital School of Medicine Zhejiang University (Association between maternal age and sex-based neonatal free triiodothyronine levels).

A study conducted by researchers at Women's Hospital School of Medicine Zhejiang University explores the association between maternal age and neonatal free triiodothyronine (fT3) levels. The study, which included 203 healthy women with term singleton pregnancies, found that there were no significant differences in thyroid hormone levels between male and female births. However, the study did find an inverse association between maternal age and cord blood levels of fT3 in euthyroid pregnant women, suggesting that maternal aging may impact offspring thyroid function. Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of these findings. [Extracted from the article]
