Effective gestational weight gain advice to optimize infant birth weight in Japan based on quantile regression analysis

Abstract The optimal range of gestational weight gain (GWG) was recently raised in Japan. This may help reduce small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants, but may also increase large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants. This study performed hypothetical experiments to determine effective GWG advice based...
