RESUMEN
Resumen

Introducción:

El peso al nacer es un importante indicador de salud del recién nacido, de la madre y de las condiciones de salubridad de una sociedad; además es reconocido como la principal causa de morbimortalidad en la infancia.

Objetivo:

Determinar la asociación entre seguridad alimentaria en el hogar durante el último trimestre del embarazo y el bajo peso al nacer. Materiales y

métodos:

Estudio de casos y controles; se incluyeron 73 recién nacidos a término con bajo peso y 73 neonatos con peso normal. Se analizaron variables demográficas, clínicas y de seguridad alimentaria.

Resultados:

El bajo peso al nacer se asoció con la inseguridad alimentaria en el hogar (OR 19,3; IC 95% 6,5-56,9), ajustando por hipertensión arterial de la madre, vaginosis, antecedente de ruptura prematura de membranas y malnutrición gestacional por exceso.

Conclusiones:

Se encontró una asociación importante entre la inseguridad alimentaria en el hogar durante el último trimestre de gestación y el bajo peso al nacer de los neonatos atendidos en el hospital San Pedro de Pasto. La fuerza de la asociación podría subestimarse en ausencia de ajuste por variables clínicas y demográficas.
ABSTRACT
Abstract

Introduction:

Birth weight is an important indicator of the health of the newborn and of the mother. It can also be used as a parameter to define sanitary conditions of societies. Low birth weight is well known as the main cause of morbidity and mortality in childhood.

Objective:

To determine the association between home food security during the last trimester of pregnancy and low birth weight. Materials and

methods:

A cases and controls study that included 73 full-term newborns with low weight and 73 normal weight neonates. Demographic, clinical and food security variables were analyzed.

Results:

Low birth weight was associated with home food insecurity (OR 19.3; CI 95% 6.5-56.9), when adjusted to mother's arterial hypertension, vaginosis, antecedent of premature rupture of membranes and gestational malnutrition.

Conclusions:

We found a significant association between home food insecurity during the last gestational trimester and low birth weight of neonates born in San Pedro Hospital, Pasto. The strength of this association could be underestimated in the absence of adjustments to demographic and clinical variables.
