Each year millions of babies are born too soon and too small. Premature or preterm births are defi ned as births at less tha n thirty-seve n weeks.
Prematurity is the leading cause of death in newborn babies. More than one-fourth of the four million newborns who die each year around the world were born too early.
Preterm babies that survive can suffer a lifetime of serious health conditions. The examples in clude cerebral palsy, bli ndn ess, heari ng problems and lear ning disabilities. Families and communities face emotional, physical and financial costs.
Christopher Hows on is the vice preside nt for global programs at the March of Dimes, a non profit
group. His group and the World Health Orga ni zati on rece ntly published a report called “ The Global and Regi onal Toll of Preterm Birth.
CHRISTOPHER HOWSON: “Fra nkly the crisis of preterm birth is
un der-recog ni zed, un derco un ted, un dervalued and un der-f un ded. I mean, this report shows that thirteen million babies are born every year preterm, and that over a million of those babies die as a result of being born too early. ”
And these are just estimates;the true numberscould be even higher. More than eighty-five perce nt of preterm births happe n in Africa and Asia. Africa has the highest rate, with about four million cases each year.
Chris Hows on says many of the causes of preterm births are related to poverty and weak health-care systems.
CHRISTOPHER HOWSON: “For example, the poor overall health and nu triti onal status of wome n. A high burde n of in fectious diseases. Lack of provisi on of family planning —allowing a woman to decide when to start and end having children and how to space her children. And also the lack of good prenatal care programs that might ide ntify problems early on in preg nan cy. ”
Preterm births are a problem not just in the developing world. The combined rate in the Un ited States and Can ada is the sec ond highest in the world. Preterm birth rates in the Un ited States have in creased thirty-six perce nt in the last twen ty-five years.
This has bee n largely the result of two reas ons. One is an in crease in preg nan cies among wome n over age thirty-five. The other is an in crease in the use of reproductive therapies.

A. the causes of people ' s bad health throughout the world
