Abstract

|
The precise etiologic factors of premature or preterm delivery are quite often not well known but some condition could be expected.
Recently, medical articles mentioned inadequate maternal weight gain during pregnancy as one of the risk of the preterm delivery.
At this point, this report surveyed incidence of preterm delivery between 117 of the low rate maternal weight gain delivery and 1465 of normal rate maternal weight gain delivery as control gorup from January 1989 to March 1990
This study revealed women with low rate weight gain(less than a 0.27 kg/week) without specific medical complications during pregnancy were significantly high in preterm delivery compare to control group.
The overall incidence of preterm delivery in low rate weight gain was 40.2%.
As a result, low maternal weight gain during prenatal period could be concluded one of risk factor of preterm delivery.
