| Research Abstract |
Aim : To determine effect of psychosocial stress and lifestyles on low birthweight(LBW) in full term period. Method : A prospective study was carried out in the Kumamoto city in Japan between December 2010 and September 2011. The normal birthweight infants(326 persons) and the low birthweight infants(32 persons) of full term birth were identified, and both groups were compared. Psychosocial stress and lifestyles were assessed using the Subjective Well-Being Inventory and the lifestyles for mothers. We compared normal-weight infant mothers with LBW infant mothers regard to the above average scores, and made the analysis. Results : As for low-birthweight infant generating in full term birth, neither the psychosocial stress consciousness nor the relation with other life style factors was found. The causes were found by the weight increase in the pregnancy term and gestational weeks. But according to the logistic analysis, the full term low birthweight infant's risk factor was more overwhelmingly dependent on the pregnancy weeks than the weight increase Therefore, the biological factor at the time of conception and the influence of the weight control from every day were suggested.
