Abstract

Recent animal studies suggest that preconceptional undernutrition shortens gestation. We retested this idea among rural Gambian women who experience annual fluctuations in energy balance caused by the rains (with lowest weights in September to November) using records from 1918 infants. Pregnancies conceived in September to November were significantly shorter than those from better-fed months (38.6 vs 39.0 weeks; log-rank chi 2 = 17.4, P < .0001).

Abstract

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) can result from prematurity or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and result in small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants. Prematurity and IUGR may have different etiologies and consequences. Objective: Our objective was to analyze seasonal patterns of prematurity and SGA in a rural African community and to compare them against variations in nutritional and ecologic variables that may provide insight into likely causative factors. Design: Fourier series were used to compare the seasonality of prematurity (
