Resumen
Descripción general del contenido del recurso.
As part of an interest in assessing the behavior of birth-weight (BW) in wide-ranging ecological contexts, this study analyzes the regional variation of this anthropometric variable in Santa Cruz province and its relation to gestational biological factors. Santa Cruz province presents two large environmental areas: Andean and Plateau-Coastal ones. BW data proceeded from Statistical Reports on Born Alive Babies (for the 1990-1999 period) (n = 39632). Variables taken into account were birth weight, birth place, sex, gestational age, maternal age and parity. BW interregional differences, expressed by means of variance analysis, were not statistically significant. Sexual dimorphism was observed in both regions. BW did not show statistically significant differences in parity or maternal age. Differential behavior was observed in the fetal growth pattern in both sexes between regions characterized because as from 37 gestation weeks, BW weekly average increase was bigger in the Andean Region than in the Plateau-Coastal one. Results obtained in the present study would evidence that geographical and weather characteristics of the two main ecological units of this province would not influence BW variation. Probably the relative and favorable homogeneity of the provincial socioeconomic capacity contributes to diminish the effect of adverse weather conditions typical of this province. Interregional differences in fetal growth pattern might be due to various biological and environmental factors to be explored with a sample design that may allow verifying this finding and obtaining the information required to explain it.
