RESUMEN

INTRODUCCIÓN:

El estado nutricional materno medido como IMC (índice de masa corporal) se asocia al crecimiento fetal, al peso del recién nacido y a la morbimortalidad feto-neonatal. El sobrepeso y la obesidad son un problema de salud pública, que involucra a más de 650 millones de adultos en el mundo. Cuando llega el embarazo, este problema se encuentra instalado y hace necesaria la atención durante el cuidado prenatal. En Argentina, el Sistema Informático Perinatal (SIP) del Centro Latinoamericano de Perinatología (CLAP) de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS)/Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) es el mayor registro de historias clínicas perinatales y provee información para la toma de decisiones político-sanitarias. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar, mediante el IMC al inicio del embarazo, el estado nutricional en mujeres embarazadas que asisten a hospitales públicos de las 24 jurisdicciones del país.

MÉTODOS:

Se procesaron datos antropométricos registrados en el SIP de la serie histórica 2012-2017.

RESULTADOS:

El 4,3% de las mujeres evidenciaron bajo IMC, hubo 56,5% de normopeso, y el sobrepeso y obesidad presentaron prevalencias de 24,4% y 14,7%, respectivamente, con variaciones regionales. Se encontró un aumento sostenido de la obesidad, del 12,2% en 2012 al 17,5% en 2017.

DISCUSIÓN:

La serie histórica 2012-2017 muestra claramente un aumento sostenido y estadísticamente significativo de la obesidad en mujeres que inician su embarazo. (AU)
ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Pre-pregnancy nutritional status measured through BMI (body mass index) is related to fetal growth, birth weight and neonatal mortality rate. Overweight and obesity are public health problems involving more than 650 million adults worldwide. When women become pregnant, this problem needs to be addressed during prenatal controls. In Argentina, the Perinatal Information System (SIP) published by the Latin American Center for Perinatology (CLAP) of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)/World Health Organization (WHO) is the largest perinatal database for medical records and provides information for public policy decision-making. The purpose of this study was to evaluate, using BMI, the nutritional status at the beginning of pregnancy in women attending public hospitals in the 24 provinces of Argentina.

METHODS:

Anthropometric measurements from the SIP for 2012-2017were processed.

RESULTS:

A total of 4.3% of women had low BMI, 56.5% had a normal weight, and 24.4% and 14.7% were overweight or obese, respectively, and regional variations were observed. A sustained increase in obesity was observed, going from 12.2% in 2012 to 17.5% in 2017.

DISCUSSION:

The time series 2012-2017 shows a sustained and statistically significant increase in obesity among women starting pregnancy.
