I due studi non sono in contrapposizione.  il secondo non prende in  
considerazione il lutto della madre fra i fattori di rischio prenatali.

Cito testualmente:
Perinatal risk factors.
The perinatal factors investigated were categorized as 1) delivery and  
newborn characteristics: fetal presentation, mode of delivery, Apgar  
score at 5 minutes, birth weight, gestational age at birth, and weight  
for gestational age; 2) pregnancy characteristics: multiple gestation,  
preeclampsia, and number of antenatal visits; and 3) parental  
characteristics: number of previous pregnancies, maternal smoking  
reported at the first antenatal visit, maternalcitizenship, and  
maternal and paternal ages. Birth weight for gestational age was  
categorized into three groups according to the gender-specific  
birth-weight distribution at a given gestational age in a sample of  
children (N = 97,596) born in Denmark between 1980 and 1994: small for  
gestational age (<10th centile), appropriate for gestational age  
(10th–90th centile), and large for gestational age (>90th centile).  
Information about Apgar score, gestational age at birth, and birth  
weight for gestational age was available from 1978 only; information  
about preeclampsia and maternal smoking was collected for only the  
years 1978–1990 and 1991–1994, respectively.  (Larsson et al.,  
American Journal of Epidemiology, 161 (10): 916, 2005)
