Resumo: Objectives: To study the correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) in antenatal period and birth weight of child, along with the socio-demographic determinants of birth weight. Methods: A longitudinal study of one-year duration, from June 2010 to May 2011, was conducted in an urban slum of Mumbai, India. Universal sampling method was employed, including as subjects all pregnant women with minimum two Antenatal Care (ANC) visits - and at least one in the third trimester - registered at an urban health centre from June to August 2010. Subjects with any pre-existing co-morbid illness or with past history of giving birth to twins or to any congenitally malformed child, or else, with outcome of still births or home delivery, were excluded. These women were followed up for the next months until delivery. Maternal weight was recorded at each visit and BMI was calculated, or the average BMI, in case of more than one visit in any trimester. Birth weight was recorded using hospital or maternity home records. Results: Prevalence of low birth weight was 26.7%. Correlation between maternal BMI of third trimester and neonatal birth weight was moderately positive. 60.8% of variability in birth weight can be predicted by maternal BMI in third trimester. Conclusions: Third trimester BMI can be used as a predictor of neonatal birth weight. Information, Education and Counseling (IEC) activities regarding utilization of Antenatal Care (ANC) services can help reducing the incidence of Low Birth Weight (LBW).

Métodos: Um estudo longitudinal de um ano de duração, de junho 2010 a maio de 2011, foi realizado em uma favela urbana de Mumbai, Índia. O método de amostragem universal foi aplicado, incluindo como sujeitos todas as mulheres grávidas que realizaram pré-natal com, no mínimo, duas visitas, incluindo pelo menos uma no terceiro trimestre, registradas no centro urbano de saúde, de junho a agosto de 2010. Mulheres com qualquer estado mórbido pré-existente ou com histórico de gestações com nascimento de gêmeos ou de criança com qualquer má-formação congênita, ou inda, com ocorrência de natimorto ou parto em casa, foram excluídas do estudo. Estas mulheres foram acompanhadas durante os próximos meses até o parto. O peso materno foi medido em cada visita e calculado o IMC, ou o IMC médio, no caso de mais de uma visita em qualquer trimestre. O peso ao nascer foi registrado a partir de dados do hospital ou maternidade. Resultados: A prevalência de Baixo Peso ao Nascer (BPN) foi de 26,7%. Correlação entre o IMCmaterno do terceiro trimestre e o peso ao nascer foi moderadamente positiva. 60,8% da variabilidade no peso ao nascer podem ser preditos pelo IMC materno no terceiro trimestre. Conclusão: O IMC materno no terceiro trimestre pode ser usado como um preditor de peso ao nascimento neonatal. Informação, Educação e Aconselhamento (IEC) sobre a utilização do pré-natal podem ajudar na redução da incidência de Baixo Peso ao Nascer (BPN).Universidade de Fortaleza2012-11-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/226610.5020/2266Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 25 No. 3 (2012); 356-363Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 25 Núm. 3 (2012); 356-363Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 25 n. 3 (2012); 356-3631806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORenghttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/2266/2493Shrivastava, Saurabh RambiharilalBobhate, Prateek Sudhakarinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-02-16T11:23:46Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/2266Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2022-02-16T11:23:46Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false
