“…This result was similar to the findings of several studies which demonstrated that maternal weight gain during pregnancy was an important risk factor for LBW infants [10,17]. The risk of LBW was significantly lower in mothers who had sufficient weight gain during pregnancy compared with mothers who did not have adequate weight gain [28][29][30].…”

Low birth weight is a key determinant in the risk of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period and during childhood. This unmatched case-control study in Hamadan, Islamic Republic of Iran, compared the characteristics of mothers of low-and normal-birth-weight infants. Maternal sociodemographic data, pregnancy history, anthropometric data and cord plasma zinc level were collected from 134 mothers of low-birth-weight infants and 134 mothers of normal infants at the time of delivery. Significant differences in maternal characteristics namely gravida, parity, body mass index, maternal weight gain during pregnancy and plasma cord blood zinc were found between low-and normal-birth-weight infants. There were no significant differences in maternal age, maternal education, maternal occupation, family income, previous abortion, previous preterm labour, birth interval, type of clinic and place of residence between the 2 groups.

“…Classification cutoffs for pre-gestational nutritional status were established based on data from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which distinguished low-weight and overweight values from the range of normality-approximately 90% and 120%, respectively, of the ideal weight-for-height reference data (26). To determine the recommended weight-gain ranges during pregnancy, the IOM used data from the 1980 national survey of U.S. births of pregnancies from 39 to 41 weeks' gestation and birth weight between 3-4 kg as an operational definition of favorable obstetric results (6,18,(29)(30)(31).…”

“…The defining values for LBW are still contested by authors, but lie somewhere in the region of 2500-2999g. 27,28 It has therefore become clear over the past decade that there is a need to review the objectives and the indicators for anthropometric assessment of pregnant women, especially the initial nutritional diagnosis using pre-gestational BMI. 29 The results of this study provide further evidence of the diffe- Helms et al 36 have explored the risks that inappropriate weight gain might bring for obstetric outcomes, pointing out that pregnant women whose weight gain was inadequate presented higher chances (OR=1.78; RI95% 1.7-1.86) of having LBW babies than those whose weight gain was adequate or excessive.…”

“…[37][38][39] Hulsey et al 40 found that lower than adequate maternal weight gain entails a greater likelihood of very low birth weight and moderate low birth weight, when compared to women with adequate weight gain. According to the ranges proposed by the IOM (OR=1.4 and 1.9, respectively).…”
