Description:Objective.
To examine fetal growth outcomes from agricultural worker households.
Methods.
Using Arizona 2006–2013 birth certificates with parental occupation, we identified N=623,185 live births by agricultural household status. Logistic regression models estimated adjusted Odds Ratios (aOR) for macrosomia (>4,000 grams), postterm birth (>41 weeks), low birth weight (LBW <2,500 grams), pre-term birth (PTB <37 weeks), large-for-gestational-age (LGA), small-for-gestational-age (SGA), and 5 min-APGAR (<7).
Results.
Newborns of agricultural households (n=6,371) had a higher risk of macrosomia (aOR 1.15, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.26), LGA (aOR 1.12, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.22), postterm birth (aOR 1.20, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.33), and low 5-min APGAR (aOR 1.39, 95% CI: 1.07, 1.81), whereas LBW (aOR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.76, 0.96) and PTB (aOR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.74, 0.92) were inversely related.
Conclusions.
Having an agriculture working parent increased the likelihood of fetal overgrowth and low APGAR.
