“…Consistent with the notion that birth outcomes are affected both by biomedical and by psychosocial factors, medical risk and parity (whether or not a woman has given birth previously) are two of the most important biomedical predictors of birth outcome (Binsacca et al, 1987;Buescher et al, 1988;Cramer, 1987;Dott and Fort, 1975;Institute of Medicine, 1985;Shiono et al, 1986) and should therefore be controlled when examining the impact of prenatal stress on birth outcome. Some studies have used samples homogeneous in medical risk and parity to control for the effects of these characteristics (e.g., Bradley, 1983;Lederman et al, 1979;Levi et al, 1989;Picone et al, 1982).…”

“…Their babies have also been found to be smaller than their booked counterparts (Ekele and Audu 1998). The unbooked patient has generally been found in some studies as the older woman of low socioeconomic status (Hamilton et al 1987;Onwudiegwu and Ezechi 2001) and of high parity (Dott and Fort 1975).…”

“…Increased pednatal mortality rate among teenage gravidas has been demonstrated by several large-scale studies of different nationalities (Butler and Alberman, 1969;Chamberlain et al, 1975;Lambert, 1976;Dott and Fort, 1975;Kessner et aL, 1973). These studies all present the relationship between mother's age and perinatal mortality as a J-shaped function.…”

“…The former category includes only studies of representative populations, e.g., all births taking place in Britain within two given weeks (Butler arid Alberman, 1969;Chamberlain et al, 1975) or all births taking place in New York State or Louisiana within a given time period (Kessner et al, 1973;Dott and Fort, 1975). The two studies constituting the latter category involved selected sampies; in both cases the samples consisted of women who were patients in university hospitals.…”
