  • 1. Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, People's College of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Bhopal

Description

Association between pregnancy body mass index in normal cases and in cases with preterm birth was studied in a
hospital record based cohort. 400 patients were studied for BMI in pregnancy, 200 cases of preterm labour in Group A and
200 without preterm labour in Group B. Data was analysed and correlated for preterm delivery and its relation to BMI. BMI
was categorised as <18.5 (underweight); 18.5–24.9 (normal); 25.0–29.9(overweight); 30.0–34.9 (obese I); 35.0–39.9
(obese II); and   40.0 (obese III) .It was found that there is increased risk of preterm labour in patients with increase body >
mass index.
