    New study: Smoking during pregnancy may increase the risk of congenital heart disease in children New study: Smoking during pregnancy may increase the risk of congenital heart disease in children

    Xinhua News Agency, London, May 27 (Reporter Zhang Jiawei) A study released on the 27th by the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom stated that smoking during pregnancy may increase the risk of congenital heart disease in children.


    An international team led by scholars from the school conducted a detailed analysis of the relevant fertility and health data of more than 230,000 families in many European countries.


    Research results show that children born to women who smoke during pregnancy are more likely to suffer from congenital heart disease.


    Researchers recommend that women should not smoke during their childbearing years, and whether they are mothers or fathers, it is necessary to maintain a healthy weight and limit alcohol intake before or during pregnancy.


    Deborah Lawler, a professor at the University of Bristol who oversaw the study, said that the results of this study further indicate that there is a need for more support for smoking cessation worldwide.
