In Wave I, about 39% and 34% of adolescent girls with respective age 11–15 and 16–19 reported elevated depressive symptoms (using CES-D cut off ≥ 11) and the pattern increases till young adulthood. This observation correlates with CES-D cutoff ≥ 24. In early adulthood 10.5% (296) of babies were born preterm (< 37 weeks gestation) and 18.8% babies (601) were LBW (< 2500 g). Similarly, in young adulthood, of the total singleton births, 15.7% (851) babies were LBW and 9.9% (549) were preterm (Data not shown in the Table).
