At birth, vernix caseosa can cover the whole body surface or accumulate only on the back and in the skin folds. Interest in its composition and function and its possible applications in adults has increased in recent years. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of vernix caseosa in newborn infants in the health care area of Ferrol, Spain, and to assess its relationship with neonatal and maternal factors. We performed a prospective study of 1000 newborns seen within the first 3 days of life in our hospital. Vernix caseosa was observed in 42.9% of cases. The clinical profile associated with the presence of vernix caseosa was the following: healthy newborn girl with a high birth weight, born at term by normal vaginal delivery to a multiparous mother who had received medication and dietary supplements during pregnancy. The absence of vernix caseosa was associated with the presence of physiological scaling of the newborn and erythema toxicum neonatorum.
出生时，胎脂可覆盖全身表面，也可仅积聚于背部和皮肤褶皱处。近年来，人们对其成分、功能以及在成人中的潜在应用的兴趣有所增加。本研究的目的是确定西班牙费罗尔医疗保健区域内新生儿胎脂的患病率，并评估其与新生儿及母亲因素的关系。我们对在我院出生后3天内就诊的1000名新生儿进行了一项前瞻性研究。42.9%的病例观察到有胎脂。与胎脂存在相关的临床特征如下：健康的足月女婴，出生体重高，经正常阴道分娩，母亲为经产妇，孕期接受过药物和膳食补充剂。无胎脂与新生儿生理性脱屑和新生儿毒性红斑有关。
