The data were analyzed using the SPSS software. Results: 59 cases of macrosomia were found in 500 living births, and the frequency of macrosomia was 11.8%. Also, 69.5% of the neonates were male and 30.5% were female. Maternal risk factors were mother's age at pregnancy, mother's obesity (BMI>=30), weight gain more than 18 kg during pregnancy, history of diabetes mellitus, history of macrosomia, prolonged gestational age, and multiparity (parity>=5). There was no significant relationship between mother's job and macrosomia. Conclusion: The prevalence of macrosomia in Khorramabad was high (11.8%). Preventing pregnancy in mothers over 35 years of age by contraception ways, preventing maternal obesity before pregnancy, and control of blood glucose during pregnancy by suitable diet and insulin therapy are recommended to prevent macrosomia. http://irje.tums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-25-5017&slc_lang=en&sid=1Macrosomia Body mass index (BMI) Diabetes |
