Sažetak
Data on 550 healthy pregnant women, 550 healthy fathers and their healthy term neonates born from singleton pregnancies
(37+0 through 41+6 week) during a one-year period were reviewed. Maternal mean age was 27.79.37 years,
mean pregestational weight 64.09.50 kg, mean gestational weight gain 15.44.33 kg, mean height 169.75.81 cm, and
mean gestational age 40.10.95 weeks. Paternal mean age was 31.46.22 years, mean weight 84.610.35 kg, and mean
height 182.86.84 cm. Mean birth weight was 3,709.8500.48 g and 3,562.5443.02 g, and mean birth length 51.51.91
cm and 50.71.62 cm in male and female newborns, respectively, yielding a birth weight greater by 147.3 g and birth
length by 0.8 cm in the former. Study variables showed statistically significant correlations: maternal age contributed to
the significant correlation between maternal weight and parity, maternal pregestational weight, weight at delivery, gestational
weight gain and body height correlated significantly with neonatal birth weight and birth length, gestational
age correlated significantly with neonatal weight and length (p=0.01 all), parity had no major impact (p>0.05). Paternal
height and weight correlated significantly with neonatal birth weight and birth length (p=0.01). Study results pointed
to a significant correlation of maternal pregestational weight, gestational weight gain and body height, and of paternal
weight and height with the neonate birth weight and birth length.
