Resumen
LOPEZ-RODRIGUEZ, Guadalupe; GALVAN-GARCIA, Marcos y GALVAN-VALENCIA, Oscar. Prevalence of nutritional status in Mexican newborns by weight and leght at birth: an analysis of Sinac birth certificates. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2022, vol.64, n.3, pp.259-266. Epub 30-Oct-2023. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/13232.
Objective:
To describe the national by federal entity prevalence of the nutritional status of weight and length at birth.
Materials and methods:
Cross-sectional descriptive study. Data from 1 907 341 alive newborns in 2017, registered in the Subsistema de Información sobre Nacimientos (Sinac), were analyzed. The percentiles for weight and length were estimated in the INTERGROWTH-21stplatform.
Results:
The prevalence of small gestational age (SGA) and insufficient length (IL) was 7.4 and 4.8%, respectively. Differences in the prevalence of IL, SGA and large for the gestational age (LGA) by sex were recorded (p <0.01). The entities with the highest prevalence of SGA were Estado de México and Yucatán (10.4%); Sonora (15.3%) and Baja California Sur (16.8%) of LGA.
Conclusion:
Sizing the nutritional status at birth allows the identification of entities that require targeted actions to reduce the risks associated with malnutrition.
