“…A recent body of research suggests that lower BW is associated with a variety of diseases of adulthood, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, and other metabolic disorders (Godfrey & Barker, ). Additionally, low BW has been associated with potential risk for depression and anxiety in adulthood (Van Lieshout et al, ), increased fracture risk (Balasuriya et al, ), and neurodevelopmental difficulties including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder (Momany, Kamradt, & Nikolas, ), among other health‐related conditions.…”

Objectives: To analyze the influence of maternal height (MH) on offspring's birth weight (BW) in infants born from January 2016 to May 2017, in Merida, Mexico. Methods: A total of 3462 singletons born at term in a public hospital were analyzed. Data extracted from hospital records were MH; number of previous births; and infant's sex, BW, and gestational length. MH was divided into 4 categories at quartile points: Q1:129-147, Q2:148-151, Q3:152-155, and Q4:156-180 cm. BW data were transformed to z-score values using the WHO Child Growth Standard. The association between MH and infants' BW was analyzed through a multiple regression model in which gestational length, infant's sex, maternal age, ethnicity, and number of previous birth were included as covariates. Results: Mean values of MH and infants' BW were 151.43 cm (SD = 6.32) and 3172 g (SD = 401) (corresponding to −0.29 SD in BW z-score), respectively. The regression model showed that the shortest quartile of MH was associated with −0.43 (95% CI −0.35 −0.51) SD in infants' BW compared with the highest quartile. The second and third shortest quartiles of MH were associated with −0.24 (95% CI −0.16 −0.32) and −0.17 (95% CI −0.09 −0.25) SD of infants BW, respectively. Conclusions: MH remains an important factor for infant BW even in the presence of other determinants. The influence of MH on infants' BW in this population is similar to that found in other populations in low-, middle-, and high-income countries.

“…Yet their unfavorable consequences might be huge and nonnegligible and continuing for lifelong. Lots of studies have shown that preterm births are under greater risks of neurodevelopmental impairments (such as mental retardation and cerebral palsy), behavioral sequelae (such as dysfunction in cognitive areas) and other problems like hospital readmissions [24]; LBW newborns are at an increased risk of the development of coronary heart disease [25], depression and anxiety [26], poor long-term consequences on lung functions [6], diabetes, blood pressure and neurological functions in later life [27]; macrosomia infants are at elevated shortterm risks like shoulder dystocia and long-term risks of metabolic syndrome, asthma and even cancer [28]. What's more, prematurity-associated complications and macrosomia are proven to be closely related to neonatal deaths and both fetal growth restriction and preterm births are strongly associated with placental dysfunction and subsequent poor fetal health, carrying increased risks of stillbirths [9,17,23].…”

Background Shanxi Province in northern China has been identified as an area with the highest prevalence of neural tube defects in the world; however, the constituent and prevalence of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) has changed in recent years. The aim of our study was to investigate the constituent and variation trend of the birth prevalence of APOs in rural northern China.Methods A population-based descriptive study was conducted. Data were derived from two birth surveillance systems that recorded all pregnancy outcomes from 2007 to 2012 in Pingding and Xiyang County in Shanxi Province, China.Results From 2007 to 2012, the birth prevalence of APOs in the two counties was 154.7 per 1,000 births. The birth prevalence of neonatal death, stillbirths, birth defects, premature birth, low birth weight (LBW), and macrosomia was 3.4 per 1,000 births, 12.3 per 1,000 births, 12.2 per 1,000 births, 21.9 per 1,000 births, 40.5 per 1,000 births, and 64.5 per 1,000 births, respectively. Birth prevalence of macrosomia increased from 59.6 per 1,000 births in 2007 to 74.4 per 1,000 births in 2012( {\chi }_{trend}^{2} =20.314,P < 0.001). Birth prevalence of LBW and premature birth declined, from 43.8 per 1,000 births and 19.1 per 1,000 births in 2007 to 30.1 per 1,000 births and 11.8 per 1,000 births in 2012 ( {\chi }_{trend}^{2}=21.748, P < 0.001; {\chi }_{trend}^{2} =14.342, P < 0.001). The birth prevalence of neonatal death, stillbirth and birth defects stayed at a relatively low level. The distribution of APOs birth prevalence took an obvious “U-shape” as maternal age rose from <20 year to over 40 year except for macrosomia.Conclusions More efforts should be made on finding causes and ways of interventions on APOs, especially prematurity, LBW and macrosomia which are currently under insufficient attention.

“…VLBW subjects in the present study were comparable to the controls in major family and socio‐economic factors. Resiliency factors are likely to contribute towards a neutralisation of unfavourable biological factors associated with preterm birth . In addition, a study published in 2018 has shown that grey matter alterations between adolescence and adulthood were suggested to be related to a maturation of the brain .…”
