For the last few years the number of premature children born in Shirak
region has increased. Before the 1988 earthquake the index did not
exceed 5%. At present it is more than 10%.
The main reasons of premature births are infections and the poor
psychological situation of women. It is scientifically proved
that premature girls have more chances to survive and adapt to the
environment more easily than boys.
