AB  - In order to assess the possible effects of lifestyle on fertility and pregnancy outcome,  the PALS (Pregnancy and Lifestyle study) collected extensive data on a broad range of parameters termed ‘lifestyle’ from couples who were planning a natural (non-assisted) pregnancy in the coming months. There was no intervention. Participants were recruited over a six year period from 1988 to 1993 in response to extensive promotion in the local media. Male and female partners were interviewed independently and all interviews were conducted prospectively before the couple attempted to conceive. The result of each month of ‘trying’ was recorded and pregnancies were confirmed by urine tests and by ultrasound. The length of gestation of each pregnancy was recorded and pregnancies at term were classified with respect to weight. Multiple pregnancies and/or babies with congenital abnormalities have been excluded from the dataset. This collection contains two datasets. An open access de-identifiable dataset and a restricted identifiable set.
