Background:

intrauterine growth restriction is one of the main challenges of modern obstetrics, mainly in developing countries. Individuals who were victims of intrauterine growth restriction are biologically different, which includes a greater susceptibility to suffering from chronic diseases in adulthood.

Objective:

to identify maternal, metabolic and mixed variables presumably related to intrauterine growth restrictions.

Methods:

a transverse analytic study of pregnant women, who ended their pregnancy between September 2013 and October 2018 and whose newborns had intrauterine growth restriction was carried out in the Chiqui Gómez Lubián polyclinic of the municipality of Santa Clara. The sample was classified as small and adequate, according to trophic condition at birth. In each group, a relationship with metabolic and mixed variables, presumably related to the intrauterine restriction phenomenon, was studied.

Results:

mothers of restricted children maintained normal values ​​of metabolic variables upon uptake, but showed alteration of mixed variables.

Conclusions:

intrauterine growth restriction could be related to the alteration of the mixed variables observed in their mothers.
