Resumen

Con el objetivo de determinar las variaciones dei perimetro braquial durante ei embarazo y verificar la relación entre este indicador y otras medidas antropométricas, fue realizado un
estúdio de corte transversal y de seguimeinto de 200 mujeres embarazadas.Fueron medidas en cada mujer: peso, perimetro braquial, altura uterina, altura, y peso pre gestacional. Para ei análisis de los resultados las mujeres fueron agrupadas por trimestre del embarazo. La diferencia~de las médias (análise de variancia) dei perimetro braquial entre los diferentes trimestres dei embarazo, mostró que no hay diferencia estadisticamente significativa (P>0,05).EI análisis de correlación de Pearson mostró que, ei perimetro braquial y el peso de la mujer estan fuertemente correlacionados
en cualquier periodo de la gestación. Por otro lado, ei perimetro braquial no estuvo correlacionado con la edad gestacional, altura uterina y altura de la mujer.Se concluye que ei perimetro braquial es un indicador relativamente estable durante ei embarazo e independiente de la edad gestacional, portanto puede ser medido en cualquier época dei embarazo para estimar ei peso pré-gestacional y de esta manera reflejar ei estado nutricional previo y/o actual de la gestante.
