Preconceptional stress and racial disparities in preterm birth: an overview

29 Mar 2011

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: We reviewed the evidence for three theories of how preconceptional psychosocial stress could act as a contributing determinant of excess preterm birth risk among African American women: early life developmental plasticity and epigenetic programming of adult neuroendocrine systems; blunting, weathering, or dysfunction of neuroendocrine and immune function in response to chronic stress activation through...
