Omega-3 testing to be introduced in SA to prevent preterm birth

South Australian pregnant women will receive free omega-3 blood tests from June 1 as part of routine screening to prevent preterm births. The initiative follows two decades of research by SAHMRI showing low omega-3 levels increase early birth risk. A trial of 37,000 women found 17 percent tested low, potentially preventing one in six preterm births.
