ABSTRACT Objective To establish birth weight percentile charts for gestational age based on prospectively collected data for Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) urban/rural low-risk population presenting at Mother and Child Health (MCH) Center, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabad, Pakistan, and crosscountry comparison. Place and duration of study The study was conducted for a period of 6 months (January 2014—June 2014) at MCH Center Unit II, Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (SZABMU-PIMS), Islamabad, Pakistan. Study design Comparative cross-sectional study. Materials and methods Data of low-risk women from ICT urban/rural population presenting at MCH Center, PIMS were prospectively maintained, entered in Excel sheet, and later analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21. The confounding factors that affect the fetal growth including gestational diabetes, hypertension, history of intrauterine growth restriction, and medical disorders were excluded. The 5th, 10th, 50th, 90th, and 95th centile birth weight charts were calculated for gestational age between 32 and 41 weeks and were compared with those of other countries. The gestational age was calculated by clinical obstetrician or estimates by early ultrasound if available. Results A total of 1,744 singleton live births were analyzed. The birth weights at 5th, 10th, 50th, 90th, and 95th centile were calculated at 32 to 41 weeks of gestation. Cross-country comparison of birth weight at 50th centile of ICT population is comparable with other countries till 37 weeks and lower after 37 weeks, except Indian population. The birth weight at 90th centile at all gestations (32—41 weeks) was comparable with other populations. However, the birth weight at 10th centile for ICT population is far below than the other countries except Indian population. Conclusion The updated birth weight for gestational age centile charts may be utilized as reference charts for ICT population and may be extrapolated to Pakistani population until the availability of national database.

A high-quality diet during pregnancy may have positive effects on fetal growth and nutritional status at birth, and it may modify the risk of developing chronic diseases later in life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between diet quality and newborn nutritional status in a group of pregnant Mexican women. As part of the ongoing Mexican prospective cohort study, OBESO, we studied 226 healthy pregnant women. We adapted the Alternated Healthy Eating Index-2010 for pregnancy (AHEI-10P). The association between maternal diet and newborn nutritional status was investigated by multiple linear regression and logistic regression models. We applied three 24-h recalls during the second half of gestation. As the AHEI-10P score improved by 5 units, the birth weight and length increased (β = 74.8 ± 35.0 g and β = 0.3 ± 0.4 cm, respectively, p < 0.05). Similarly, the risk of low birth weight (LBW) and small for gestational age (SGA) decreased (OR: 0.47, 95%CI: 0.27–0.82 and OR: 0.55, 95%CI: 0.36–0.85, respectively). In women without preeclampsia and/or GDM, the risk of stunting decreased as the diet quality score increased (+5 units) (OR: 0.62, 95%IC: 0.40–0.96). A high-quality diet during pregnancy was associated with a higher newborn size and a reduced risk of LBW and SGA in this group of pregnant Mexican women.
