We investigated the association between prenatal exposure to lead (Pb) and the risk of
preterm low birth weight (PLBW). Pb concentrations in maternal urine collected at birth from
408 subjects (102 cases and 306 matched controls) were analyzed and adjusted by
creatinine. The median Pb concentration in the PLBW cases (10.60 μg Pb/g creatinine) was
higher than that of the controls (7.28 μg Pb/g creatinine). An adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 2.96
(95% CI= 1.49–5.87) for PLBW was observed when the highest tertile was compared to the …
