Maternal coffee caffeine intake during pregnancy is found to associated to increased risk of low birth weight (birth weight <2,500 g), a 2014 study suggested.
Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.
In the reviewed literature of 13 prospective studies, coffee caffeine intake at very low levels during pregnancy showed a relative risk of lower weight of 1.13 in compared to healthy weight.
The relative risk of infants born with lower birth weight in moderate intake (150 to 349 mg/day) and high intake (≥350 mg/day) of mothers during pregnancy were 1.38 and 1.60, respectively.
Risk of low birth weight increased substantially to additional 13% for each 100-mg/day increment, intake, according to the dose-response analysis.
Risk of low birth weight increased substantially to additional 13% for each 100-mg/day increment, intake, according to the dose-response analysis.
Dr. Chen LW,, the lead researchers said, "Higher maternal caffeine intake during pregnancy was associated with a higher risk of delivering low birth weight infants. These findings support recommendations to restrict caffeine intake during pregnancy to low levels".
In Linear dose-response analysis, additional 100 mg of caffeine intake (1 cup of coffee or 2 cups of tea) per day during pregnancy was associated with a 3.0% increase odd ratio risk to LBW.
With all information collected, The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, in the study with same subjects, insisted that high caffeine intake during pregnancy is associated with a significant increase in the risk of LBW, and this risk appears to increase linearly as caffeine intake increases.
Finally, according to the University of British Columbia, some of the studies with a low quality, small sample and wide confidence interval may afflict the outcome of the studies, there is a need to conduct high-quality, double-blinded RCTs to determine whether caffeine has any effect on pregnancy outcome.
