Sažetak
The CRoatian Islands` Birth Cohort Study (CRIBS) is an ongoing project assesing the prevalence of risk factors for Metabolic Syndrome. The CRIBS sample consists of healthy women from Dalmatia (Croatia), with singleton pregnancies and no history of chronical diseases. Considerable number of participants is domicile, but 23% are migrant workers from other parts of Croatia or from abroad. We tested the difference between these two groups regarding their socioeconomic and health status in pregnancy, as well as the anthropometry of their newborns. Migrants are 2x more often primiparous, they are less educated and have lower family income than women born in Dalmatia. No differences were observed in the biochemical parameters (cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose), pathological conditions in pregnancy (preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, etc.) and delivery mode between the two groups. Significant differences were detected in the nutritional status before pregnancy. Although there was no difference between groups in mean height, domicile women had a higher mean weight and higher mean BMI, but were also more often underweight (8%), and overweight and obese (20%) than migrants. Z-scores for height and weight calculated according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, indicated that the CRIBS newborns were significantly longer and heavier than the referent population. In addition, male newborns of domicile mothers were significantly longer than their peers from migrant workers.
