In Europe and many developed countries the preterm birth rate is generally 5–9%, [203] while in the U.S. from 2007 to 2022 the rate fluctuated from 9.6 to 10.5 per cent. [ 204 ] As weight is easier to determine than gestational age, the World Health Organization tracks rates of low birth weight (< 2,500 grams), which occurred in 16.5% of ...
