- The Pune Maternal Nutrition Study (PMNS) is a prospective birth cohort in rural Pune investigating the impact of maternal nutrition during pregnancy on fetal growth and long-term metabolic health. Pregnant women and their offspring have been followed from pregnancy through adulthood with repeated assessments of growth, nutrition, and cardiometabolic risk. The study provides key evidence for the developmental origins of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in Indian populations.
