Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find out how common striae gravidarum (stretch marks) are among Thai pregnant women and what factors are linked to it.
- About 77% of the participants experienced striae gravidarum, with younger age, higher body mass index (BMI), later gestational age, higher birth weights, alcohol consumption, lower water intake, and a family history of stretch marks significantly associated with its occurrence.
- The findings suggest that several factors, including maternal age and health behaviors, might influence the development of stretch marks during pregnancy.
