在已婚父母中研究了母亲和父亲因素对低出生体重（< 2500克）和极低出生体重（< 1500克）婴儿风险的综合影响。作者利用美国国家卫生统计中心（National Center for Health Statistics） 1984-1988年的出生数据发现，在调整了母亲的特征后，父亲的教育程度和种族对低出生体重和极低出生体重的风险有独立的影响。低出生体重和极低出生体重的几率随着父亲教育程度的提高而下降。父亲受教育程度的调整降低了母亲受教育程度对低出生体重和极低出生体重风险的影响。此外，对父亲种族的研究发现，与已婚黑人母亲相比，已婚黑人妇女的低体重和极低出生体重的风险更低。这些数据表明，除了使用母亲的特征外，还应该使用父亲的特征来描述低和极低出生体重的风险。
The combined effects of maternal and paternal factors on the risk of delivering low birth weight (< 2,500 g) and very low birth weight (< 1,500 g) infants were examined among married parents. Using 1984-1988 natality data compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics, the authors found paternal education and race to have independent effects on the risks of low birth weight and very low birth weight after adjustment for maternal characteristics. The odds of low and very low birth weight decreased with increasing paternal education. Adjustment for paternal education decreased the effect of maternal education on the risks of low and very low birth weight. Additionally, the examination of paternal race led to the identification of a subgroup of married black women with lower risks of low and very low birth weight than married black mothers overall. These data suggest that paternal characteristics should be used' in addition to maternal characteristics, to describe the risks of low and very low birth weight.
