Association between maternal prepregnancy body mass index and risk of preterm birth in more than 1 million Asian American mothers

Asian Americans are among the fastest growing subpopulations in the United States. However, evidence about maternal prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and preterm birth among Asian Americans is lacking.
