This prospective study covered a one year period between between June 1994 and August 1995 and included 104 cases of teenage mothers and 98 control adult mothers. The purpose was to assess the short-term biological impact on teenage mothers and their babies in Thailand by comparing teenage mothers-age < or = 18 years old and adult mothers-age 20-35 years old. The mean age of the teenage mothers and adult mothers was 16.75 +/- 0.97 and 26.67 +/- 2.88. The result demonstrated that there was no significant difference in the short-term biological effect on mothers and their babies.
