Background and Objectives Gestational Weight
Gain (GWG) has been shown to influence the
outcome of pregnancies, increasing morbidity in
mothers and their offspring. Our objective is to
evaluate the association of GWG with
sociodemographic factors such as maternal age,
Body Mass Index (BMI), level of studies and social
class.
Methods This study involves the analysis of data
obtained from 787 pregnant women from the
province of Valencia (Spain) between February 2004
and July 2005. Data was attained through surveys
performed by trained personal on weeks 12th and 32nd
of the pregnancy and using maternal and delivery
clinical records. The analysis were performed using a
chi-square test and binary logistic regressions (simple
and multivariate).
Results High values of BMI are associated with an
increased risk of excessive GWG. A significant
sociodemographic gradient can be seen in GWG: a
lower level of studies is associated with a higher risk
of excessive GWG (p=0.031). Also, smoking is a risk
factor to the development of insufficient GWG. On
the other hand, parity shows a protective effect
against excessive GWG.
Conclusions A decrease of the sociodemographic
gradient existent would be beneficial, reducing
morbidity for mothers and offspring. Furthermore,
interventions promoting better life habits such as no
smoking during pregnancy or healthier BMI at the
start of it could also be positive for their health and
their future. [-]
