ارتباط شاخص هاي تن سنجي نوزادان ايراني و افغاني مركز بهداشتي- درماني اقباليه قزوين با برخي شاخص هاي مادران

Association of anthropometric indices in Iranian and Afghan infants with maternal indices in the Eqbaliyeh health center, Qazvin

شاخص هاي تن سنجي از بهترين شاخص هاي ارزيابي رشد نوزادان طي دوران زندگي هستند. اين مطالعه توصيفي به منظور تعيين ارتباط شاخص هاي تن سنجي نوزادان ايراني و افغاني با برخي شاخص هاي مادران انجام شد. مطالعه بر روي 230 نفر از مادران تحت پوشش مركز بهداشت شهر اقباليه قزوين در سال 1392 انجام شد. داده ها از پرونده مادران تحت پوشش استخراج و با آزمون هاي آماري تي و همبستگي پيرسون تحليل شدند. 119 نوزاد (%7/51) مذكر بودند، بين ميانگين وزن و دورسر نوزادان ايراني با نوزادان افغاني تفاوت معني دار آماري وجود داشت. مادران ايراني در حين بارداري از سن، وزن و قد بالاتري نسبت به مادران افغاني برخوردار بودند كه به لحاظ آماري معني دار بود. بين سن، وزن، هموگلوبين و هماتوكريت مادران با وزن تولد نوزادان و بين هموگلوبين و هماتوكريت مادران با قد نوزادان همبستگي مثبت معني دار وجود داشت. با توجه به يافته ها، تغذيه صحيح و سلامت مادران باردار و ارايه خدمات بهداشتي مناسب به آن ها مي تواند در حفظ و ارتقاي سلامت نوزادان نيز مفيد باشد.

Anthropometric indices are of the best indicators for growth monitoring during neonatal period. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the association ofanthropometric indices in Iranian and Afghan infants with maternal indices. The study was conducted in 230 mothers who had health profiles in the Eqbaliyeh health center, Qazvin during 2013. Data were collected through the records in mothers’ health profiles. Data were analyzed using T-test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Of 230 infants, 119 (51.7%) were male. Mean weight and head circumference were significantly different between Iranian and Afghan infants.The Iranian mothers were older and had higher weight and height during pregnancy compared to the Afghan mothers and the difference was statistically significant. There was positive significant correlation between mothers’ age, weight, hemoglobin, and hematocrit and infants’ birth weight. There was also positive significant correlation between mothers’ hemoglobin and hematocrit and infants’ height. With regards to the results, proper nutrition, maternal health, and providing appropriate health services during pregnancy can be beneficial for improving infants’ health.
