Figure 2 : Percent of Mothers Who Smoked During Pregnancy
نویسنده
چکیده
Postponing parenthood beyond the teen years can improve child wellbeing by increasing the odds of a healthy birth. Compared to older mothers, teen mothers were less likely to receive prenatal care, more likely to smoke during pregnancy, and more likely to have a birth that is preterm and/or low-birthweight. Consequently, teen mothers also experience higher rates of infant mortality, and infants who were born low-birthweight or preterm often experience consequences lasting into adolescence and beyond.

متن کاملMaternal Smoking During Pregnancy Predicts Adult Offspring Cardiovascular Risk Factors – Evidence from a Community-Based Large Birth Cohort Study
