PIP: Infant growth records of the National Center for Research in Maternal-Child Health were analyzed to compare malnutrition among children of adolescent mothers and of mothers over age 20. 235 children of adolescent mothers were the cases, and 470 children of mothers over age 20 were controls, with low birth weight, prematurity, educational level, and marital status controlled. Infants were considered malnourished at one year if their weight was below one standard deviation for their age, according to US National Center for Health Statistics norms. 49.8% of children of adolescent mothers were malnourished at 1 year by this criterion, compared to 40.2% of children of older mothers, indicating a risk of malnutrition 1.47 times greater for children of adolescent mothers. The odds ratio was 2.5 for low birth weight children of adolescent mothers compared to 0.4 for children of older mothers. It was 1.88 for children of adolescent mothers with primary education or less compared to 1.51 for older mothers with primary or less. Prematurity and marital status were not significantly associated with differential risk of malnutrition.^ieng
