| We found no evidence of elevated risk of coronary heart disease among lower birthweight infants who remained relatively lean into adulthood. |
|
| Other low birthweight babies are not premature, but are small because of poor growth, usually as result of poor function of the placenta. |
|
| Smokeless tobacco use in pregnant women reduces birth weight and increases the number of low birthweight babies. |
|
| Having fewer low birthweight and pre-term babies means lower infant mortality. |
|
| Such interventions have been reported to help pregnant women, for example, cope with stress and reduce the possibility of low birthweight babies. |
|
| Too much stress may increase the risk of preterm labor, low birthweight and possibly miscarriage. |
|
| In particular, low birthweight infants who grew to be heavy adults were at high risk of coronary heart disease. |
|
| Child mortality has more than doubled and the incidence of low birthweight babies has quadrupled since sanctions began. |
|
| The researchers also found that cold temperatures in the third trimester of pregnancy caused birthweight to drop. |
|
| Trials in the 1950s showed that reducing heat loss improves survival for preterm and low birthweight infants. |
|
| As developmental paediatrician to a neonatal referral centre she followed many low birthweight children with great skill. |
|
| Unfortunately, about 20 to 40 percent of the very lowest birthweight babies develop serious lasting disabilities. |
|
| The doctors I met on a professional visit in March pointed to a rising prevalence of anaemia in pregnant women and low birthweight babies. |
|
| Research also suggests teenage parents tend to have poorer ante-natal health, lower birthweight babies and higher infant mortality rates. |
|
| It has also been shown that heat stress in the middle to last third of gestation can reduce calf birthweight and subsequent milk production in the dam. |
|
| Indeed, in 2006 a study found that breast-cancer risk was higher in girls who were born at the heavy end of the birthweight scale. |
|
| Low birthweight is a weight of less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces at birth. |
|
| A healthy weight gain is especially important if a woman is pregnant with twins or more, as multiples have a higher risk of preterm birth and low birthweight than singletons. |
|
| Very high levels of stress may contribute to preterm birth or low birthweight in full-term babies, however, so you should try to learn how to cope with it. |
|
| Infant factors available for analysis were presentation, multiple birth, gestational age, birth weight, birthweight percentile, and Apgar score at five minutes. |
|
|
|
| Very low birthweight is a weight of less than 3 pounds, 5 ounces. |
|
| Exposure to high levels of lead during pregnancy contributes to miscarriage, preterm delivery, low birthweight and developmental delays in the infant. |
|
| Anemia, unless it is severe, is unlikely to harm your baby, although iron deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of preterm birth and low birthweight. |
|
| He continues with a discussion of the benefits of discarding nonviable embryos, including those that may be premature or result in low birthweight. |
|
| These patients included older people, pregnant women with diabetes, women having hysterectomies, women after unplanned Cesarean births, and very low birthweight infants. |
|
| Forceps-assisted delivery, nulliparity and high birthweight were significant risk factors in all three regions. |
|
| The risk of a low birthweight baby rose significantly with increases in pollution, suggesting a greater risk for those living near a major road. |
|
| Babies between one and four months, premature babies, low birthweight babies and boys are more at risk than others. |
|
| Yet another study links low birthweight to air pollution and traffic. |
|
| Systematic reviews show that psychosocial interventions can help women stop smoking in late pregnancy, reducing low birthweight and preterm births. |
