Abstract

Introduction: The nutritional status of women during the pregnancy stage is fundamental and plays an important role in both their health and the health of the fetus and subsequently in the health of the newborn. Objective: To describe how maternal nutritional status affects neonatal nutritional status at the Martha de Roldós Type C Health Center in 2022. Materials and methods: correlational analytical study, with a quantitative approach, nonexperimental retrospective cross-sectional methodological design, a universe composed of 97 pregnant mothers with an age range between 15 and 41 years. The data were collected through the medical records of the mother and neonates. Microsoft Excel and Who Anthro software were used to create the database and statistical analysis. Results: within the prenatal controls, 47.4% of the pregnant women had a minimum of 5 controls. 45.4% had adequate weight gain, 27.8% had poor weight gain and 26.8% had excessive weight gain. 54.6% had anemia and 45.4% had normal hemoglobin values. In the P/L indicator, 1.03% were born with severe underweight, 7.22% with low weight, 84.54% with normal weight and 7.22% with overweight. Conclusions: using Anova, it was found that there is a significant correlation between maternal nutritional status and neonatal nutritional status since the P value, according to the Anova test, is <0.05.
