  abstract = {{P}urpose: {T}he {M}aternal {M}alaria and {M}alnutrition ({M}3) initiative has pooled together 13 studies with the hope of improving understanding of malaria-nutrition interactions during pregnancy and to foster collaboration between nutritionists and malariologists. {P}articipants: {D}ata were pooled on 14 635 singleton, live birth pregnancies from women who had participated in 1 of 13 pregnancy studies. {T}he 13 studies cover 8 countries in {A}frica and {P}apua {N}ew {G}uinea in the {W}estern {P}acific conducted from 1996 to 2015. {F}indings to date: {D}ata are available at the time of antenatal enrolment of women into their respective parent study and at delivery. {T}he data set comprises essential data such as malaria infection status, anthropometric assessments of maternal nutritional status, presence of anaemia and birth weight, as well as additional variables such gestational age at delivery for a subset of women. {P}articipating studies are described in detail with regard to setting and primary outcome measures, and summarised data are available from each contributing cohort. {F}uture plans: {T}his pooled birth cohort is the largest pregnancy data set to date to permit a more definite evaluation of the impact of plausible interactions between poor nutritional status and malaria infection in pregnant women on fetal growth and gestational length. {G}iven the current comparative lack of large pregnancy cohorts in malaria-endemic settings, compilation of suitable pregnancy cohorts is likely to provide adequate statistical power to assess malaria-nutrition interactions, and could point towards settings where such interactions are most relevant. {T}he {M}3 cohort may thus help to identify pregnant women at high risk of adverse outcomes who may benefit from tailored intensive antenatal care including nutritional supplements and alternative or intensified malaria prevention regimens, and the settings in which these interventions would be most effective.},
