Article Synopsis
- The Japanese government's Healthy Parents and Children 21 project highlighted an alarming increase in low birth weight infants, prompting a study in Kurume City to investigate potential risks and interventions.
- The study analyzed data from 2,986 pregnant women, linking pregnancy notifications to birth weight records, and identified specific maternal factors—such as age, height, BMI, and physical abnormalities—that significantly contribute to low birth weight, miscarriages, and stillbirths.
- To mitigate these risks, especially for women aged 35 and older, the study recommends regular checkups and support classes to detect complications early and promote healthier pregnancies.
