BACKGROUND: Overweight during pregnancy has increased in Chile. In the region of La Araucanía it occurs in 67% of pregnancies, which exceeds the national indicators. AIM: To analyze the secular trend during eight years of the nutritional status at the beginning of gestation, the excessive weight gain during pregnancy, and its association with individual factors in pregnant women cared the public health system of two Southern Chilean neighboring cities. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional and longitudinal trend design. We used an anonymized database with 17,270 reproductive data of urban pregnant women who were cared between 2009 and 2016. Trend analysis was performed to evaluate secular changes (nptrend < 0.05) in nutritional indicators and logistic regression to determine the association with individual characteristics. RESULTS: In the study period, overweight at the beginning of pregnancy increased by 13.1 percentage points. Forty percent of pregnant women with normal initial body mass index, were overweight or obese at the end of pregnancy. The excessive weight gain decreased slightly (z=-3.33, p = 0.001), but unevenly in both cities. Adolescent pregnancy, a low education and low socio-economic level of household together with previous overweight and a family or personal history of chronic diseases are associated with excessive gestational weight gain. Conclusions: The results show social inequality. Female malnutrition by excess is a problem that must be addressed through a robust public policy, centered on primary health care level and with a focus on social determinants. Prenatal care provides a window of opportunity to intervene.

Introducción: Existen pruebas clínicas que revelan la importancia del vínculo seguro para la salud y para el mantenimiento coherente de la vida humana. Si el recién nacido carece de cuidados y afectos podría desarrollar un trastorno del apego. Existe una escala predictiva de riesgo relacional que permitiría intervenir precozmente en la díada madre-recién nacido, para prevenir el desarrollo de trastornos vinculares. El objetivo fue aplicar la escala de Kimelman para riesgo relacional en díadas madre-recién nacido, para determinar la prevalencia y las variables biopsicosociales asociadas. Pacientes y Método: Estudio de corte transversal con una muestra no probabilística de 333 díadas que permanecen en puerperio en la maternidad del hospital de Temuco. Se utilizó la pauta de evaluación relacional madre-recién nacidos de Kimelman. Las variables biopsicosociales se obtuvieron de una encuesta a las madres. Se analizó la asociación de variables biopsicosociales con riesgo relacional, utilizando odds ratio (OR) e intervalos de confianza (IC) del 95%. Resultados: La prevalencia de alto riesgo relacional fue del 43,8%. Las variables biopsicosociales asociadas fueron: mujeres sin pareja estable, monoparentalidad, madres adolescentes, embarazo no deseado y no planificado, entre otras. Conclusión: El grupo de alto riesgo alcanza prácticamente a la mitad de las madres. La identificación precoz del riesgo relacional y sus variables relacionadas podría orientar la intervención en este grupo de mayor vulnerabilidad.
Introduction: Clinical evidence reveals the importance of mother-newborn bonding experience for health promoting and maintenance of human life. If the newborn lacks care and affection, she/he may develop an attachment disorder. A predictive scale regarding the risk of mother-newborn relationships is available, which makes possible an early intervention to prevent the development of relational disorders. The aim of this study is to apply the Kimelman measurement scale to determine the relational risk in mother-newborn pairs, as well as the prevalence and the associated biopsychosocial variables. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study with a probabilistic sample of 333 mother-infant pairs in postpartum maternity at Temuco hospital. The Kimelman mother-newborn attachment assessment guide was used. Biopsychosocial variables were obtained from the mothers studied. The association of biopsychosocial variables with relational risk was analyzed using OR and confidence intervals of 95%. Results: The prevalence of high relational risk was 43.8%. The associated biopsychosocial variables included, women with no steady partner, single parent, teenage mothers, unwanted and unplanned pregnancy. Conclusion: Almost half of the mothers were in the high risk group. Early identification of relational risk and its related variables could help in the intervention in this vulnerable group.
