NEONATAL MORTALITY IN RELATION TO BIRTH WEIGHT
730 low birth weight (LBW) neonates and 1460 controls were selected from 13,123 neonates born from October 1988 to June 1989 in 17 hospitals and maternity units in Tehran, and were compared for mortality in the first seven and up to 28 days of life (early neonatal period). In this study all low birth weight newborns are divided according to four sub-groups of birth weight, and the mortalit...
متن کاملPlacental weight relative to birth weight and long-term cardiovascular mortality: findings from a cohort of 31,307 men and women.
Birth weight is inversely associated with risk of adult cardiovascular disease, and evidence exists that fetal adaptation to challenges in the intrauterine environment may adversely affect long-term cardiovascular health. The placenta is in a key position to mediate such effects because adequate placental function is necessary for delivery of nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to the fetus. This p...

متن کاملWeight Loss and Mortality
June 2005 | Volume 2 | Issue 6 | e195 | e198 As mothers get older and assisted conception becomes more common in developed countries, the incidence of multiple births—primarily of nonidentical siblings, but also of identical ones—has dramatically increased. Multiple pregnancies are high-risk pregnancies, with preterm delivery and monochorionicity (shared placenta) the major problems. Consequent...
متن کاملDeterminants of Relative Weight
The relationships ofrelative weight to energy intake and to physical activity were studied among 141 females aged 34-59 y. As observed in previous studies Quetelet index (wt/ht2) was inversely related to energy intake (r = -0. 1 1). However, obese women tended to be older (r = 0.16), exercise less (r = -0.30), and drink less alcohol (r = -0. 16) than nonobese women. Older women had lower energy...
