A prospective study of biological factors for low birthweight (LBW) among UAE nationals in the Al Ain Medical District was undertaken from 15 January 1992 to 14 January 1993, using a case control method. All 293 mothers of LBW infants and an equal number of mothers of the next normal weight infants born after the LBW infant were studied. Of the 3,485 live births, 293 (8.4%) were LBW (less than 2,500 g). Maternal age less than 25 years, lighter weight at booking, nulliparity, first cousin marriage and short interpregnancy interval (IPI) of 3 months or less significantly increased the risk of LBW in this population. After adjusting for other biologic confounders, only low maternal weight and short IPI significantly increased the risk of LBW. Modification of these biologic risk factors would help to reduce the incidence of LBW among the UAE population. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
1992年1月15日至1993年1月14日，在艾因医疗区对阿联酋国民中低体重出生（LBW）的生物学因素进行了一项前瞻性研究，采用病例对照方法。研究了所有293名低体重婴儿的母亲以及在低体重婴儿之后出生的同等数量的下一正常体重婴儿的母亲。在3485例活产中，293例（8.4%）为低体重（低于2500克）。母亲年龄小于25岁、孕期初体重较轻、未生育、近亲结婚以及妊娠间隔期（IPI）短于3个月或更短，显著增加了该人群低体重出生的风险。在对其他生物学混杂因素进行调整后，只有母亲体重低和妊娠间隔期短显著增加了低体重出生的风险。改变这些生物学风险因素将有助于降低阿联酋人群中低体重出生的发生率。©1996威利-利斯公司。
