    Objective: To analyze the risk factors associated with preterm birth. The study methodology was based on a narrative review that describes the risk factors associated with preterm birth for both mothers and infants worldwide during the period from 2015 to 2020. The scientific articles were selected based on convenience, considering various inclusion criteria and their relevance. A total of 30 studies were selected. The results showed that the risk factors associated with preterm birth were previous preterm birth [OR: 14.1], preeclampsia [OR (95% CI): 10.3], lower maternal education [OR (95% CI): 5.22 (2.01–13.58)], history of fetal death [OR (95% CI): 3.17 (1.20–8.36)], fewer prenatal visits [OR (95% CI): 6.68 (2.71–16.48)], antepartum hemorrhage [OR (95% CI): 2.39 (1.04–5.53)], advanced maternal age [OR (95% CI): 2.23 (0.97–4.85)], urban residence [OR: 6.23], intrauterine growth restriction [OR: 3.77], and urinary infections [OR: 3.7]. It was concluded that the most prevalent risk factors associated with preterm birth were previous preterm birth, preeclampsia, lower maternal education, fewer prenatal visits, and advanced maternal age.
