Factors Associatedwith with the Development of Striae Gravidarum
Abstract:
Background And Aim
Striae Gravidarum is one of the common skin changes during pregnancy. There are several risk factors for striae development. The aim of this study was to survey of associated factors with the development of striae gravidarum.
Materials And Methods
A convenience sample of 325 primiparous women were assessed during the immediate postpartum period for evidence of SG. Data were collected by a questionnaire and physical examination. The presence and and severity of striae was evaluated by Davey’s score. To determine the possible risk factors for the development of SG, characteristics of women with and without striae were compared using chi square test, independent t test and logistic Regression.
Findings
In 182 (81.3%) of participants striae gravidarum was developed. Development of SG in 174 of 182 women (95.6%) was on the abdomen, 110 of 182 (60.4%) was on the thighs and in 74 of 182 (40.6%) SG was developed on the breasts during their pregnancy. Mean and SD of Davey score in breast, abdomen and thighs were (1.08 ± 1.55), (4.31 ± 2.21) and (1.76 ± 2.02) respectively. Family history of SG in mother, weight gain and body mass index during pregnancy and newborn weight, were signifi cantly associated with the development of SG.
Conclusions
This study showed that genetic factors (family history of striae gravidarum) and physical factors (weight gain and body mass index during pregnancy) may have a significant role in development of striae gravidarum. Therefore, conducting studies in the future to identify how these factors can cause striae gravidarum seem to be helpful.
