The effects of maternal caffeine consumption during pregnancy (A meta-analysis study conducted among Saudi Women)
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Many studies have shown inconsistent results in term of the effect of caffeine intake during pregnancy on the risk of low birth weight (LBW). In this study, we performed a linear-dose response analysis and meta-analysis examining the association between caffeine consumption during pregnancy and risk of LBW among Saudi women. We found that high caffeine intake during pregnancy is associated with a significant increase in the risk of LBW among Saudi women, and this risk appears to increase linearly as caffeine intake increases.
