Abstract:
Gestational weight gain reflects maternal body adaptability and fetal development. Inappropriate gestational weight gain is causally associated with various adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth. Preterm birth is a major cause of increasing neonatal mortality and long-term morbidity globally. As an effective method for analytical research, a cohort study possesses the advantages of having clear causality, high authenticity, effectiveness, and evidence strength, rendering it broadly applicable for investigating the origins of disease and evaluating the outcomes of prevention and treatment. This article reviews cohort studies on the impact of gestational weight gain on preterm delivery in recent years, pointing out the correlation between unjustifiable gestational weight gain and the occurrence of preterm delivery. Additionally, it is identified that the relationship between gestational weight gain and preterm delivery is affected by the level of environmental toxin exposure, race, and dietary patterns.
