The researchers do this condit research is to make

sure the association between high risk to SHS and low
birth weight and preterm delivery. SHS is someone
who didnt smoke but they get the effect of smoke,
we called passive smoker. Low birth weight is a
condition when new born baby weight is less then
2500 gram. Preterm delivery is late delivery or a baby
who born more then 40 weeks prgnancy. This study

SHS. In over all 13.8 % of women gave preterm
delivery and 10.0% of women ave birthto a low birth
weight. About 12.6% of women who related with SHS
delivered low birth weight compare 7.7% for non
related women. The rate of preterm delivery for
women who related SHS is significanly high compared
non related SHS. About 17.2% vs 10.6%). Accroding to
the research the researcher sure that SHS could affect
