چکیده
the purpose of this study was to investigate the possible association between pregnancy weight gain and child weight at the 12 th and 24 th months of age in damavand city, north-east tehran, iran. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study, using existing data collected by the urban health centers, records of 266 women who attended urban health centers for prenatal care and delivered between march 2004 and march 2008 with singleton term pregnancy were analyzed. data on pre-pregnancy weight and height, total pregnancy weight gain, mother’s age, parity, neonatal birth weight, birth order, mother’s education, working status, breastfeeding practice and child weight at the 12 th and 24 th months of age were extracted. pregnant women were categorized based on their pre-pregnancy body mass index (bmi) as underweight, normal, and overweight and obese. chi-square and anova tests were employed to analyze data using spss software. mean (±sd) of gestational weight gain was 11.4±3.9 kg. on average, 34% of mothers had inadequate weight gain, while 44 and 22% gained appropriate and excessive weight, respectively, based on the us institute of medicine (iom-1990) guidelines. about 11, 56, 20 and 13% of mothers were defined as underweight, normal, overweight, and obese based on their bmi values. initial bmi and educational level was associated with pregnancy weight gain. there was a significant difference between mean child weight at the 12 th and 24 th months of ages in all three categories of pregnancy weight gain, i.e. inadequate (<6.8 kg), normal (6.8–11.3 kg), and excessive (>11.3 kg) (p< 0.01). gestational weight gain seemed associated with child weight. educating and assisting pregnant women to meet the weight gain within recommendations range might therefore be an important strategy to prevent child malnutrition, both under- and overweight, in early life.
