GIRALDO HENAO, Claudia Liliana  and  ORDUZ BUITRAGO, Paola Andrea. MATERNAL NUTRIOTIONAL STATE OF INDIGENOUS WOMEN OF RIOSUCIO, CALDAS 2004-2005 AND ITS DIRECT ASSOCIATION WITH THE BODY WEIGHT OF THE NEWBORNS. Hacia promoc. Salud [online]. 2007, vol.12, n.1, pp.193-202. ISSN 0121-7577.

A descriptive and retrospective study about the case histories of pregnant women was realized, analyzing the existent relation between the nutricional condition of the mother estimated by Corporal Mass Rate (CMR) which represented an initial prenatal control, along with the fetal growth refered as average weight of the newborn, in indigenous mothers who attended a prenatal control and delivered alive innates at San Juan de Dios Hospital in Riosucio (Caldas) within August 2004 and July 2005 with selected pregnancies: gestational age known by ecography and /or amenorrhoea deliveries between (38 and 42 weeks) unique gestations and without any associated diagnosed illnesses. From the sample studied, 63.5% of the pregnant women had normal weight. However 44.7% of the newborns from the whole total of the sampling had weight under 3.000 g. From which 13.9% were newborns from low weight mothers, equally some important data were obtained from the overweight mothers (53 cases) from which 4.6% had babies considered to have insufficient weight. You could conclude that a direct relationship doesn’t exist statistically significant between the maternal nutritional state and the weight of the newly born ones in population’s sample (bigger X2 that 3,841, it crosses the alpha of 5%), however he/she put on to establish a relative risk of 3, 8, this is that for each newly born of weight insufficient or low son of mother of weight Normal/sobrepeso/obesidad, there are 3, 8 newly born of weight under or insufficient children of mothers with under weight (IC 95% = 3, 18 - 5, 18).
