San Francisco, July 23 (Ians) Babies have an increased likelihood of being born prematurely if either their father or mother has a history of psychiatric diagnosis, a new study has shown.
According to the study published in the online journal Plos Medicine, infants whose father or mother has a psychiatric condition have a higher chance of preterm birth than those whose parents do not, and the risk is even higher when both parents have such diagnoses.
Preterm birth has been linked to unfavourable health outcomes for newborns.
Women with psychiatric diagnosis have long been known to be at a higher risk of preterm delivery, but little is known regarding the danger in children of psychiatrically diagnosed fathers and couples with both parents having psychiatric illnesses.
The researchers analysed data on all live births to Nordic parents in Sweden between 1997 and 2016.
The researchers noticed an earlier gestational age in the offspring of parents with psychiatric illnesses.
