Association of maternal birth weight with the risk of low birth weight and small-for-gestational-age in offspring: A prospective single-center cohort study.
<h4>Background</h4>Although low birth weight in Japan has slightly increased over the past several decades, the association between maternal birth weight and pregnancy outcomes remains poorly understood.<h4>Methods</h4>In this hospital-based, prospective cohort study conducte...

We analyzed 944 women born at term after dividing them into five categories according to their birth weight: <2500 g, 2500-2999 g, 3000-3499 g, 3500-3999 g, and ≥4000 g. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and trend analysis were used to elucidate the extent to which maternal birth weight was associated with small-for-gestational-age and low birth weight in offspring, as well as with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.<h4>Results</h4>Compared with women with a birth weight of 3000-3499 g, those born with a birth weight <2500 g had a significantly higher risk of low birth weight (adjusted odds ratio: 5.39, 95% confidence interval: 2.06-14.1) and small-for-gestational-age (adjusted odds ratio: 9.11, 95% confidence interval: 3.14-26.4) infants.
