This study aims to detect an association between potential maternal predictors and neonatal anthropometry in Oman. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Oman, between November 2014 and November 2015. The study included all term healthy Omani neonate-mother pairs. Summary descriptive statistics of neonatal (N) weight (Wt), length (L), head circumference (HC), and potential maternal (M) characteristics were collected. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess associations between maternal predictors and neonatal anthropometry. The study cohort identified 2,783 eligible pairs. The data showed that parity, maternal weight (MWt), and height (MHt) explained a significant amount of the variance in birth weight (-ratio = 115.4, -value < 0.001, and adjusted = 0.12). MWt and MHt were significant predictors of length (-ratio = 65.3, -value < 0.001, and adjusted = 0.048). The predictors of HC were MWt, MHt, and parity (-ratio = 53.1, -value < 0.001, and adjusted = 0.57). Primiparous mothers were 2.2 times at greater risk of delivering low birth weight (LBW) newborns. There were no significant differences in anthropometric outcomes between consanguineous and nonconsanguineous groups. Maternal weight and height had significant positive associations with the three newborn anthropometric outcomes. Additionally, primiparity was associated with the increased risk of LBW. Consanguinity was not associated with LBW in term Omani neonates.
本研究旨在检测阿曼潜在的母亲预测因素与新生儿人体测量学之间的关联。2014年11月至2015年11月期间，在阿曼苏丹卡布斯大学医院进行了一项回顾性横断面研究。该研究纳入了所有足月健康的阿曼新生儿-母亲对。收集了新生儿（N）体重（Wt）、身长（L）、头围（HC）以及潜在母亲（M）特征的汇总描述性统计数据。采用多元线性回归分析来评估母亲预测因素与新生儿人体测量学之间的关联。该研究队列确定了2783对符合条件的对子。数据显示，产次、母亲体重（MWt）和身高（MHt）解释了出生体重变异的很大一部分（F比率 = 115.4，P值 < 0.001，调整后R² = 0.12）。MWt和MHt是身长的显著预测因素（F比率 = 65.3，P值 < 0.001，调整后R² = 0.048）。HC的预测因素是MWt、MHt和产次（F比率 = 53.1，P值 < 0.001，调整后R² = 0.57）。初产妇分娩低出生体重（LBW）新生儿的风险高2.2倍。近亲结婚组和非近亲结婚组在人体测量结果方面没有显著差异。母亲体重和身高与三项新生儿人体测量结果均有显著正相关。此外，初产与LBW风险增加有关。在足月阿曼新生儿中，近亲结婚与LBW无关。
