Add to ORKGOne in ten infants born in the United States is born preterm, or prior to 37\u202fweeks gestation. Exposure to elevated levels of metals, such as lead and arsenic, has been linked to higher risk of preterm birth (PTB), but consequences of lower levels of exposure and less studied metals are unclear. We examined the associations between 17 urinary trace metals individually and in mixtures in relation to PTB. The LIFECODES birth cohort enrolled pregnant women at <15\u202fweeks gestation at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. We selected cases of PTB (n\u202f=\u202f99) and unmatched controls (n\u202f=\u202f291) and analyzed urine samples for a panel of trace metals (median: 26\u202fweeks gestation). We used logistic regression models to ca...
