The nutritional assessment was made from an anthropometic and biochemical point of view. The following measures were taken: weight, height, brachial perimeter (AP) and triceps skinfold thickness (TST); with the first two the Quetelet Index (IQ) was calculated and with the latter ones the muscular area (MA) and fat area (FA). Biochemically the hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrite (Ht) was dosed; those women under 11 g/dl were considered anemics.Most pregnant have IQ within normal levels for non-pregnant reference. Remaining pregnant prevails overweight and obesity of temporal type. In deposit ratios occurs something similar to the IQ, with the difference that deficit predominates.Sixty percent are anemic, 33,65 and 66%, corresponding to the I, II and III trimesters of pregnancy, re...

Between March and July 1993 he managed to gather a total of 4205 cases of cesarean births attended between 21797 during the same period, representing a rate of 19.3%. There was no major difference in the rate between hospitals in Lima and provinces, but if a higher frequency was found in IPSS when compared with the MOH. The six most important causes of cesarean in Peru are: previous cesareada, acute fetal distress, breech birth, narrow pelvis, fetopelvic disproportion and toxemia, which remain more or less the same distribution between the MOH and IPSS. Some other epidemiological characteristics differ ...
