New ARCR Article: Beyond the Brain: The Physical Health and Whole-Body Impact of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
“Prenatal alcohol exposure affects not only fetal development and brain function after birth. As this new ARCR review reports, people with prenatal alcohol exposure and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders can experience a wide range of conditions affecting the whole body and lasting into adulthood. These persistent consequences include metabolic disorders; changes in body composition; effects on the health and function of the bones, heart, kidney, immune system, and reproductive system; and impairments of vision, hearing, and sleep.”
