Body Composition and Geographical Altitude in Newborns From the Province of Jujuy (Argentina)
Aim
Knowledge of neonatal body composition in high-altitude populations is insufficient. To estimate Fat Mass (FM), Fat Free Mass (FFM), and Body Fat percentage (BF%) in Jujuy newborns (NB) using the weight/length (W/L) ratio and its relationship with maternal, fetal, and environmental characteristics.
Method
Data were obtained from 47 598 mother/child pairs recorded in the Jujuy Perinatal Information System (SIP) between 2009 and 2014, including NB and maternal weight, length/height, gestational and maternal age, educational, nutritional, and marital status; birth interval; maternal surname, and planned pregnancy. The prevalence of unsatisfied basic needs (% UBN) was determined based on the mother's place of residence. The data were divided into two groups: highlands (HL > 2500 masl) and lowlands (LL < 2500 masl). W/L, FM, FFM, and BF% centiles were calculated using GAMLSS LMS in R and compared with INTERGROWTH-21st. ANOVA and Chi-squared tests were applied as needed. Statistical associations between the response variables FM, FFM, and BF% and maternal and environmental variables were tested using GAMM.
Results
FM and BF% were significantly higher in females and in LL, while the opposite was true for FFM. The three indicators differed according to maternal nutritional status and age, parity, pregnancy planning, prematurity, birth size, geographical altitude, surnames, and UBN. GAMM showed that gestational age, sex, birth size, UBN, and surnames are associated with FM, FFM, and BF% at both altitudinal levels.
Conclusions
The body composition of Jujuy NB varies with geographical altitude, NB characteristics, ethnicity, and socioeconomic conditions.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Human Biology is the Official Journal of the Human Biology Association.
The American Journal of Human Biology is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed, internationally circulated journal that publishes reports of original research, theoretical articles and timely reviews, and brief communications in the interdisciplinary field of human biology. As the official journal of the Human Biology Association, the Journal also publishes abstracts of research presented at its annual scientific meeting and book reviews relevant to the field.
The Journal seeks scholarly manuscripts that address all aspects of human biology, health, and disease, particularly those that stress comparative, developmental, ecological, or evolutionary perspectives. The transdisciplinary areas covered in the Journal include, but are not limited to, epidemiology, genetic variation, population biology and demography, physiology, anatomy, nutrition, growth and aging, physical performance, physical activity and fitness, ecology, and evolution, along with their interactions. The Journal publishes basic, applied, and methodologically oriented research from all areas, including measurement, analytical techniques and strategies, and computer applications in human biology.
Like many other biologically oriented disciplines, the field of human biology has undergone considerable growth and diversification in recent years, and the expansion of the aims and scope of the Journal is a reflection of this growth and membership diversification.
The Journal is committed to prompt review, and priority publication is given to manuscripts with novel or timely findings, and to manuscripts of unusual interest.
