Women who experience depression during early pregnancy are more likely to face before the birth of time, so the results of a new study in the U.S..
Some of the scientists interviewed 791 women who are on the 10-week pregnancy to their districts and cities in the San Francisco and found that 41 percent reported symptoms of depression, “meaning”, while 22 percent reported symptoms of depression, “severe”.
Women with symptoms of severe depression, the risk of premature birth almost two times larger, defined as the period of pregnancy of less than 37 weeks.
Those who have symptoms have a risk of premature birth means 60 percent, said the study – conducted by scientists at the research division of Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, California.
Find possible causes of premature birth, which is not much known, the findings make it so important, said the study’s main author Dr. De-Kun Li, perinatal epidemiology experts and senior researchers in the division.
Many scientists have been analyzing the causes of high infant mortality in the United States, Li said, but, “we do not know what happened. If we can find something that may cause depression, depression can be treated during pregnancy, it is very, very mean.”
The findings have been broadcast in the Oxford University Press journal, Human Reproduction, publication in October.
Li hopes the findings in the study that will make “antenatal depression” that many people recognized as postpartum depression. Depression during pregnancy is less, he said, “not only by women, but also by their doctors.”
One reason for the lack of attention is no strong evidence on the relationship between depression in pregnant women and the danger for the fetus, Li said.
Studies have also found that women are more likely to report symptoms of depression tend to be aged under 25 years old, not married, less literate, poor, colored and has a history of premature birth.
