We conducted an observational study of 194 pregnant women from two different study sites in rural Cambodia. Socioeconomic and anthropometric data was obtained from the women and their newborns. In addition, we collected blood and urine samples from the women for further analyses in planned papers. There were significant differences between the two study groups for clinical outcomes. The mothers from the poorer area were shorter and weighed less at the time of inclusion. Their babies had significantly smaller head circumferences and a lower ponderal index. Conclusion: There are significant anthropometric differences between women and their newborns from two separate study sites in Cambodia. Possible associations between stunting and exposure to Persistent Toxic Substances (PTS) as organochlorines and toxic trace elements will be investigated in future studies.
我们对柬埔寨农村的两个不同研究点的 194 名孕妇进行了一项观察性研究。从这些妇女及其新生儿身上获得了社会经济和人体测量数据。此外，我们还从这些妇女身上采集了血液和尿液样本，以便在计划的论文中进行进一步分析。两组的临床结果存在显著差异。来自较贫困地区的母亲在纳入时更矮、体重更轻。她们的婴儿头围明显较小，体重指数较低。结论：柬埔寨两个不同研究点的妇女及其新生儿存在显著的人体测量学差异。在未来的研究中，将调查发育迟缓与接触持久性有毒物质（PTS）作为有机氯和有毒微量元素之间的可能关联。
