  • Maternal smoking in pregnancy and sex differences in perinatal death between boys and girls

    Baizhuang Xu, Marjo‐riitta Järvelin et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1998References: 15

    The sex difference in perinatal mortality in developed countries is largely unexplained. The current study evaluated the differences in the impact of maternal smoking during pregnancy on the risk of perinatal death between males and females. The analysis involved 11,469 and 9,404 newborns derived from two population-based birth cohorts in Northern Finland, for 1966 and 1985-86, respectively. The perinatal mortality rate was 23 per thousand in the…

Both Finnish cohorts had an excess of male over female perinatal deaths, b…

    The one-year birth cohort of 12 058 children, 96% of all children born in the two northernmost provinces of Finland, Oulu and Lapland, in 1966 was studied prospectively up to the age of 14 years. During this period 14 children, 1.2 per thousand, were lost from the follow-up.

The 1563 children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy had on average 0.3 tooth more than the children of the control mothers. Highly significant explanatory variables in a regression analysis on the number of teeth at the age of one were weight at one year, maternal smoking, height at one year …
