Abstract: (147705 Views)
The mortality rate of underweight newborns with less than one year old is three times larger and those survining have more prolonged period of illness and are more susceptible to physical and psychological damages. Therefore the reduction of underweight newborns births is considered a great success in children. Some of the characteristics of pregnant women, refering to maternity hospital or the hospital with childbirth ward were recorded in a questionair in which their new born babies specifications were added later. The underweight newborns as cast group and natural weight newborns as witness group were analyzed.Mothers with less than 20 years, compared with other groups, have more underweight newborns. The ratio of underweight newborns is higher in the mothers bearing the first child than in those bearing the seconder the next child. Urban mothers, compared with rural mothers have less underweight newborns, the percentage of underweight preterm newborns was ten times to that of underweight term newborns; the ratio of underweight newborns born through seasarian is more that those born vaginally.Although the number of underweight newborns in this city is less than in many other areas of Iran it is even possible to make it less by premariage instructions and necessary cares in pregnancy.
