All women previously enrolled in NorthPop are invited to join NorthMom after turning 40 years of age. Women who have moved from the county, have withdrawn or declined follow-up from NorthPop, or are pregnant at the time of invitation are considered ineligible. Those who agree to participate visit the Clinical Research Center at the University Hospital of Ume\u00e5 in V\u00e4sterbotten, Sweden. A study nurse collects a blood sample and additional health data, including body composition by Dual-Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). To assess breast density, mammographic images from the Swedish national breast cancer screening program are acquired and evaluated both manually (by a consultant radiologist) and automatically using the Laboratory for Individualized Breast Radiodensity Assessment (LIBRA) software. Measures include classification according to BI-RADS 4 (1\u20134) and BI-RADS 5 (A-D), as well as continuous densities (%) and dense area (cm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ). Health-related and environmental exposure data are collected by NorthPop during pregnancy and requested for secondary use in NorthMom. Available exposures include geo-spatial data on ambient air pollution, traffic noise, and green environments. For subsets of women, analyses of chemicals in plasma samples collected during pregnancy are available. Additional chemical exposomics analyses and blood biomarker analyses, including proteomics and metabolomics, may be relevant in the future.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Analysis of data collected as part of NorthMom and NorthPop will be used to assess relationships between environmental exposures during pregnancy and women\u2019s later health, with a focus on breast cancer risk factors such as breast density after age 40.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Trial registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Registered in Researchweb, 19 August 2026 (project number 287619).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-026-29622-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]],"date-time":"2026-09-24T02:35:57Z","timestamp":1790217357000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The NorthMom study: population-based follow-up of women in a birth cohort to assess pregnancy exposures and effects on breast cancer risk factors"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Alice","family":"Fredriksson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Lundberg-Ulfsdotter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie-Therese","family":"Vinnars","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Oudin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bethany","family":"Van Guelpen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christina E.","family":"West","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Magnus","family":"Domell\u00f6f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wendy Yi-Ying","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karin","family":"Dembrower","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8540-6891","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sophia","family":"Harlid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]]},"reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"29622_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e1027","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(20)30215-1","volume":"8","author":"E Heer","year":"2020","unstructured":"Heer E, Harper A, Escandor N, Sung H, McCormack V, Fidler-Benaoudia MM.
