Copper and zinc deficiency to the risk of preterm labor in pregnant women: a case-control study - BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthObjective The present study explored the relationship between maternal copper and zinc levels and preterm labor. Design The design of the present study was a case-control. Two groups were matched in terms of early-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), pregnancy and childbirth rating, education level, income, and employment status. Blood samples were taken from mothers after meeting the inclusion criteria when admitted to the maternity ward to check copper and zinc serum levels. Demographic and midwifery data were also collected using a questionnaire and patient records. The data were analyzed in SPSS26 using independent-samples T-test, chi-square, Fisher exact test, and regression analysis, and the p | 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Setting Bohloul Hospital in Gonabad, Iran. Participants The subjects were 86 pregnant women visiting the hospital in two cases (preterm delivery) and control (term delivery) groups. Results The mean serum level of zinc in the case group (preterm delivery) (44.97 ± 13.06 µg/dl) was significantly lower than the control group (term) (52.63 ± 21.51 µg/dl), and the mean serum level of copper in the case group (149.82 ± 53.13 µg/dl) was significantly lower than the control group (183.97 ± 71.40 µg/dl). Conclusion As the findings showed, copper and zinc serum levels in mothers with preterm delivery were significantly lower than mothers with term delivery, which shows the biological role of these elements in the pathogenesis of preterm delivery.
