Outline of Final Research Achievements

To assess the relationship between birth weight and maternal blood lead levels (BPb), 386 pregnant women, aged 34.5 ± 4.8 (21-46) years, and their newborns were surveyed. Maternal BPb concentrations were 0.98 ± 0.55 (0.049 - 3.99), 0.92 ± 0.63 (0.049 - 3.96), and 0.99 ± 0.66 (0.049-3.96) μg/dl at 12, 25 and 36th weeks of gestation, respectively. Gestational ages at the delivery of newborns (197 males and 189 females) were 38.9 ± 1.3 weeks (35-41). In male newborns, significant correlation between birth weight and logBPb at 12th of gestation was observed (rs = -0.145, p<0.05). Results of multiple regression analysis indicated that birth weight was significantly related to log BPb at 12th weeks of gestation, controlling for possible confounding variables. It is thus suggested that low-level exposure to lead at an early stage of gestation could be a risk factor for low birth weight in male fetus.
