Abstract

The main objective of the present investigation was to determine the influence of the nutritional status of the pregnant woman with the growth indicators of the neonate in the area of Gynecology - Obstetrics of the Hospital San Sebastián del Sígsig, 2017. The study is a transversal design, with inductive methods, analytical and systemic, with a quantitative approach. In this study, the sample was 67 women with their neonates, hospitalized in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Area of the San Sebastián del Sígsig Hospital. Dietary surveys, anthropometric measures and laboratory tests were used to determine the nutritional status. After a descriptive and correlational analysis, it was concluded that there is a significant proportional relationship between the body mass index of the woman at the beginning of pregnancy with the indicator of weight-for-age growth (r = 0.244 and p = 0.047) and a significant relationship between the hemoglobin of the woman in the third trimester of pregnancy with the neonatal weight index (r = 0.436 and p = 0.026). Based on these results, it was recommended to control the evolution of weight during pregnancy according to the initial body mass index (BMI), this increase in gestational weight will allow adequate growth of the fetus.
