[The risk factors to the fetus and newborn infant with mothers under the age of 16].
The study described risk factors for the fetus and newborn up to one year of age in 271 mothers under 15 years of age, using the alternative analysis. It was found that the body mass of the newborns of under age mothers was 328 g lower (Pt less than 0.0001) than the mean body mass of the whole population in the region, but the frequency of underweight newborns was twice as large. Perinatal infant mortality of the examined group did not differ from the mean mortality of the whole population in contrast to almost three-fold higher mortality in newborns up one year of age. Feeding and morbidity did not differ substantially from those of the remaining children in the region. Malformations were the most frequent cause for postnatal mortality. The authors conclude that inspite of accelerating processes the medico-social risk for still unborn infants of pregnant under age individuals remain rather high.
