The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of obesity and gestational weight gain on the risk of subtypes of preterm birth, because little is known about these associations. The study included 62 167 women within the Danish National Birth Cohort for whom self-reported information about prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain was available. Information about spontaneous preterm birth with or without preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and about induced preterm deliveries was obtained from national registers. Cox regression analyses were used to examine associations of prepregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain with subtypes of preterm birth.The crude risks of PPROM and of induced preterm deliveries were higher in obese women (BMI >= 30) than in normal-weight women (18.5
