Description
Rich Fry and co-authors describe the MAGENTA study in a 2024 paper, which links climate and health data to learn how heat affects pregnancy in deprived communities. Rising heat is projected to worsen health worldwide. The study covers Wales and London, joining more than a decade of records on births, deprivation, ethnicity, heatwaves, and urban heat islands. A smaller group of pregnant volunteers will give samples and have their homes measured.
The design captures some of Europe's most deprived and diverse communities. Pregnant women and recent mothers help shape the research and how results are shared. The team will show how the linked data can work across several secure research settings. Early findings on heat stress in women not used to heat are promised. The goal is practical guidance for parents and policy makers in a warming climate.
