Abstract:
Introduction :In the last years other country scientists told about not only determine infant weights, need to interest
correlation between maternal weight, height and infant weight. In our country few research articles posted
about anthropometry of obstetrics and gynecology. Our study aim is determine maternal weight, infant
weight, placenta weight and assess factors affecting roles on maternal story of “Amgalan” Maternity
Hospital in 2014-2015.
Goal:The current study aimed at assessing maternal weight, infant weight, placenta weight and evaluating the
effect of factors leading to it.
Materials and Methods:The data was already collected from “Amgalan” Maternity Hospital using maternal history and record and
it was collected measuring general physical characteristics such as body weight and height, infant weight,
placenta weight and body circumferences. We used retrospective method and collected statistical data
was analyzed using SPSS 21.0 software.
Results:Of total 964 study participants aged 18-45. The average age of participants was 29.6 ± 5.8 years old and
49.7% (n=479) was working during pregnancy, 45.7% (n=441) hadn’t works, 4.6% (n=44) was student.
The average weight of mothers was 75.4±11.5, weight of infants was 3439.5±456, weight of placenta
was 685±129. The following factors affected maternal and infant weights: lower education, working, early
and late pregnancy complication. Maternal weight had a low direct correlation with infant weight (r=0.267,
p<0.01) and placenta weight (r=0.208, p<0.01). In our study maternal height had a low direct correlation
with infant weight(r=0.173, p<0.01) and infant weight had a moderate direct correlation with placenta
weight (r=0.376, p<0.01).
Conclusions:
1. The average maternal weight was 75.4±11.5, infant weight was 3539.5±456, placenta weight was 685±129.
2. The following factors affected maternal and infant weights: lower education, working status, early and late pregnancy complications.
3. Maternal weight had a little direct correlation with infant weight (r=0.267, p<0.01) and placenta
weight (r=0.208, p<0.01).
