  • Title: Alcohol use, conception time, and birth weight.
    Author: Olsen J, Rachootin P, Schiødt AV.
    Journal: J Epidemiol Community Health; 1983 Mar; 37(1):63-5. PubMed ID: 6875447.
    Abstract:
    Predictors of birth weight and birth length were studied using sociodemographic data collected from 2259 women who resided in Funen County, Denmark, and delivered a healthy child during the period 1978-9 at Odense University Hospital. Low birth weight was significantly related to tobacco use in the year of delivery (p less than 0.01), alcohol use during the same period (p less than 0.05), and a delay in conception of over six months (p less than 0.01). Smoking history and a delay in conception were also significantly associated with short birth length (p less than 0.01 and p less than 0.01, respectively).
