Maternal short stature and under-weight status are independent risk factors for preterm birth and small for gestational age in rural Bangladesh

摘要

Background/objectives To estimate the risks of term-small for gestational age (SGA), preterm-appropriate for gestational age (AGA), and preterm SGA associated with maternal height and body mass index (BMI) and to calculate the population attributable fractions (PAF) of term SGA, preterm AGA, and preterm SGA associated with maternal short stature.
