Introduction:

the risk of complications during pregnancy or delivery, as a consequence of an inadequate weight gain has generated an increasing interest in medicine.

Objective:

to describe the main anthropometric measures in pregnant women at N0-1 Basic Working Team from Turcios Lima University Polyclinic during January-June 2020.

Methods:

an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out. The target group comprised 443 pregnant women and the sample included 87, who were intentionally taken from those who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. To collect the information the obstetric and family-clinical histories were revised. Descriptive statistics was applied, along with absolute and relative frequencies, the percentage methods as well as the mean and standard deviation.

Results:

normal weight at the beginning of pregnancy and ages between 20 and 29 predominated. According to the distribution of pregnant women related to weight-gain during the second and third trimester, there was a higher rate of those having an ideal weight-gain. In relation to the anthropometric measurements at the first control, it can be emphasized, these were among the established ranges, the majority of them, regarding to the mean, as central trend, with a dispersion of the standard deviation, close to the primary data for the brachial perimeter and the circumference of the arm.

Conclusions:

different anthropometric measurements in pregnant women allow establishing a comprehensive diagnosis and to stratify risks and complications.
