Resumen
Objective: The main purposes of the study were to determine the relationship between maternal BMI obtained during pregnancy and the weight and length of the newborn. Methods: Prospective – retrospective, descriptive cohort study, where 106 medical records of patients who had prenatal care and childbirth at Barbara Health Center between January 2012 and December2014. Data was processed and tabulated in Microsoft Excel. The Chi square statistical test was used to relate variables. Results: There was a direct relationship between maternal BMI with the weight and length of the newborns, where p value was <0.00001, and<0.000036 respectively. Conclusions: Pregnant women with normal BMI at birth had a higher proportion of infants with weight and size appropriate for gestational age. The largest proportion of small
and large newborns for gestational age was observed in undernourished patients and obese ones respectively.
