Abstract
Women born in Copenhagen as subjects in the Danish Perinatal Study (1959-1961) were traced through the population register. Information was obtained on their pregnancies through 1974-1989. The conclusion is that reduced intrauterine growth of the mother is a risk factor for intrauterine growth retardation in her children. However, preterm birth of the mother is not strongly associated with preterm birth of her children.
