Περίληψη:
The objective of this study is to examine perinatal correlates of
oestradiol (E2), oestriol (E3), progesterone and sex hormone-binding
globulin (SHBG) among pregnant women in the USA and China. Three hundred
and four Caucasian women in Boston and 335 Chinese women in Shanghai
were studied. Levels of E2, E3, progesterone and SHBG were measured in
maternal blood at weeks 16 and 27 of gestation, and correlated with
maternal, gestational and perinatal characteristics. Height, weight and
body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy is inversely associated with E2
and SHBG, whereas E3 is inversely associated with height and
progesterone is inversely associated with weight and BMI. A previous
live birth is associated with lower E2 and SHBG in the index pregnancy.
Total gestation duration is inversely associated with E2, E3 and
progesterone, whereas weight gain during pregnancy is inversely
associated with progesterone and SHBG. In the US, pregnancies with
female fetuses are characterized by significantly reduced progesterone.
Pregnancy hormones are associated with several maternal, gestational and
neonatal characteristics. (C) 2002 Lippincott Williams Wilkins.
