A low weight for height of pregnant women at the start of pregnancy and a low weight gain during pregnancy has a negative impact of fetal growth.
To report the design of a weight gain chart for pregnant women that allows to classify mothers according to their nutritional status and to monitor weight gain during gestation.
Data from 1745 Chilean mothers who delivered their newborns in 1983 and 1984 were used to build this chart.
The instrument could diagnose, from gestational week 10 onwards, mothers at risk of delivering babies with birth weight under 3000 g and set weight gain goals for each individual mother based on her nutritional status. Similarly, mothers at risk of delivering babies with birth weight over 3999 g could be early diagnosed during pregnancy and guided to have a prudent weight gain.
The chart can be easily used in prenatal clinics of developing countries and is currently applied in several Latin American countries.
孕期开始时孕妇身高对应的体重较低以及孕期体重增加较少会对胎儿生长产生负面影响。
报告一种孕妇体重增加图表的设计，该图表能够根据母亲的营养状况对其进行分类，并在孕期监测体重增加情况。
使用1983年和1984年分娩新生儿的1745名智利母亲的数据来构建此图表。
该工具从妊娠第10周起能够诊断出有分娩出生体重低于3000克婴儿风险的母亲，并根据每位母亲的营养状况为其设定体重增加目标。同样，有分娩出生体重超过3999克婴儿风险的母亲在孕期也能够被早期诊断出来，并被指导进行谨慎的体重增加。
该图表可在发展中国家的产前诊所轻松使用，目前已在几个拉丁美洲国家应用。
