Sažetak
The mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) is a simple and objective method for assessing of the nutritional status. The aim of this study was to make the curve of changes MUAC of the pregnant women, and to investigate its connection with intrauterine fetal growth and early neonatal anatomy. The research was statistically designed as a controlled observation, using a random sampling method. The sample included 400 pregnant women with single, nonpathological pregnancies. Anthropometric indicators, MUAC in pregnant women, CRL, BPD, FL and AC in fetuses were established during the regular, routine examination over the duration of the pregnancy. Birth length and birth weight were found after delivery. The correlation between variables was tested by the Pearson’s coeffi cient, signifi cant at the 0, 05 level. Results show that the mean values and the curve increase of MUAC by weeks of pregnancy in all observed weekly ranges and they were larger, statistically signifi cant, P < 0, 05, in groups of overweight and obese pregnant women compared to the normal weight ones. In each one group of pregnant women, regardless of the value of the BMI ultrasonic parameters in fetal anatomy and values of birth weight and length were not signifi cantly connected with the values of MUAC. Values of MUAC, as one of the indicators of storage of peripheral fat tissue in pregnant women, increases during pregnancy, and is more noticeable in normal weight pregnant women, but as an isolated anthropometric indicator in our population, there is not a signifi cant predictive value for monitoring fetal growth and development, and the poor perinatal outcome.
