| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST rkKpOR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background Maternal nutritional factors have been implicated in the complex aetiology of neural tube defects (NTD). We investigated whether the amount of weight a woman gained during pregnancy was associated with her risk of delivering an infant with an NTD. Methods We conducted a population-based case-control study within the cohort of 708 129 live births and fetal deaths occurring in selected California counties in 1989-1991. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with mothers of 538 (88% of eligible) NTD cases (including those electively terminated, stillborn, or liveborn) and with mothers of 539 (88%) non-malformed liveborn controls within an average of 5 months from the term delivery date. Respondent-reported weight gain during pregnancy (kg) was analysed. Risks of infants having NTD were estimated among women who gained<10kg compared to those who gained >= 10kg during >= 38 week gestations. Results Compared to women who gained >= 10kg, an increased risk for NTD offspring was observed among women who gained<10kg (odds ratio [OR]=3.2,95% CI : 2.3-4.6). The OR was 5.0 (95% CI : 2.6-9.7) among those women who gained<5 kg during pregnancy. (...) |
