Maternal obesity is a major source of preventable perinatal morbidity, but studies of the relationship between obesity and preterm birth have been inconsistent. This review looks at two major studies covering just under 3.5 million births, from California, USA, and Sweden.
Inconsistent findings in previous studies appear to stem from the complex relationship between obesity and preterm birth. Initiatives to decrease maternal obesity represent an important strategy in reducing preterm birth.
孕妇肥胖是可预防的围产期发病的主要来源,但肥胖与早产之间关系的研究结果并不一致。本综述审视了两项主要研究,涵盖了来自美国加利福尼亚州和瑞典的近350万例分娩。
先前研究中结果不一致似乎源于肥胖与早产之间的复杂关系。降低孕妇肥胖的举措是减少早产的一项重要策略。
