摘要:An important external risk factor for pregnant women and newborn health is unbalanced nutrition of pregnant women. We have examined how some parameters reflecting nutritional status of a group of mothers delivering are related to the pregnancy outcome. The studied group consisted of 211 fullterm pregnant women who were hospitalized for delivery in “ Cuza – Vodă ” Maternity from Iaşi . Haemoglobin , haematocrit and erythrocyte count were determined as well as glucose, total proteins, albumin, triglycerides and cholesterol levels. The pregnancy outcome included: duration of gestation, foetal length, birthweight , 5 min Apgar score and head circumference. Laboratory tests showed a low maternal mean level of haemoglobin which emphasizes, beside other factors, an unsatisfactory nutritional status. Mean values of newborns indices were in normal limits. Of the investigated mother parameters, haemoglobin showed positive correlations with newborn length while total protein showed negative correlation with weight
