Background Previous epidemiological findings on extreme temperature and preterm birth (PTB) were heterogeneous, especially for extreme cold exposure. Measured and unmeasured individual-level factors such as genetic factors or lifecourse exposures may constitute important contributors but have not been addressed. Objectives We aimed to examine the association of gestational heat and cold exposure with PTB using a novel sibling-matched study. Methods Based on a multi-center population-based birth cohort across 16 counties in China, we included 10,826 sibling pairs born from March 2013 to December 2018. Conditional logistic and Cox Proportional Hazard regression models were used to estimate the effects of heat and cold exposure on PTB in each trimester, one and four weeks before delivery and the entire pregnancy. We also tested the heterogeneity in the association of temperature with PTB between siblings. Findings Exposure to heat during the third trimester and the entire pregnancy increased the risk of PTB. For heat (> 90th) defined with mean temperature, the odds ratios were 2.32 (1.63, 3.30) and 3.19 (2.22, 4.58), respectively. Cold exposure (< 10th) during the first, the third, an
