Abstract

Background and Objectives: Anthropometric indices, especially Weight, provide useful information for the care and treatment of newborn Infants and can be used to identify Infants at risk. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the mean Weight, Height and Head circumference measurements of Infants and some related factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the Anthropometric indices (Weight, Height and Head circumference), demographic characteristics, and delivery data of 1484 newborns in 2016 using multistage sampling. Moreover, the predictors of these indices were analyzed using a linear regression model. Results: The mean Weight, Height and Head circumference of the newborn Infants was 3185 ± 465 g, 49. 92 ± 2. 92 cm, and 34. 58 ± 2. 29 cm respectively, and 7% of newborns were low birth Weight. The male newborns weighed 57. 29 g more than females on average at birth (p <0. 05). Besides, the Height and Head circumference of the male newborns were 0. 15 and 0. 10 cm larger than the female newborns respectively but the difference was not statistically significant. In addition to gender, gestational age at birth (week) and type of delivery correlated with all three Anthropometric indices in multivariate analysis. Conclusion: Identifying and controlling largely adjustable risk factors can make it possible to prevent low Anthropometric parameters, particularly low birth Weight.
