An analytical 1-1 case-control study on the preconceptional risk behaviour in 35 physicians'offices from «Tula Aguilera» community teaching polyclinic located in Camagüey municipality was performed. The group was made up of women with preconceptional risk who got pregnant and were followed-up from January 1st to June 30th, 1994. The control group was formed by women without preconceptional risk history and who were followed-up in the same period of time and in the same health area. The most out-standing results as to biological risks were: maternal malnutrition III-IV, 36.76 %; anemia, 48.52 %; urinary tract infection; 25 % , and vaginal infection, 22.79 %. The hypotesis that infants born from mothers with preconceptional and obstetric risks are exposed to higher perinatal mortality and morbility risks than those from riskless mothers with a normal pregnancy was proved

Keywords : PRECONCEPTION CARE; RISK FACTORS; NUTRITION DISORDERS; ANEMIA; URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS; INFANT, LOW BIRTH WEIGHT; INFANT MORTALITY.
