Associations of maternal caffeine intake with birth outcomes: Results from the Lifeways Cross Generation Cohort Study

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Oct 25, 2018

Chen LW, et al. - Researchers studied data from 941 Irish mother-child pairs of the Lifeways Cross Generation Cohort Study to examine birth outcomes in relation to maternal caffeine intake predominantly from tea. According to findings, maternal caffeine intake from both coffee and tea was related to adverse birth outcomes. Lower birth weight, shorter birth length, smaller head circumference, and shorter gestational age were seen in relation to maternal caffeine intake; higher risks for low birth weight (LBW) and preterm birth (PB) were also seen. The highest caffeine intake categories from coffee and tea were found to be associated with similar higher risks of adverse birth outcomes vs the lowest intake categories.
