Análisis retrospectivo del aporte calórico de la leche materna asociado al estado nutricional de la madre en donantes del Banco de Leche del Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso del año 2019.

Abstract

The objective of this research work was to retrospectively analyze the association between the caloric intake of breast milk and the nutritional status of the mother in donors of the milk bank of the Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital in 2019, for this a descriptive study was carried out, correlational retrospective, in which 331 donor mothers who met the inclusion criteria participated. Socioeconomic factors such as: age, marital status and level of education were studied; as well as the nutritional status measured by the body mass index, together with the hemoglobin values to determine whether or not they presented anemia and finally the type and caloric value of the donated breast milk from the result of the crematocrit. Among the main results, it was found that 22.7% were mothers under 19 years of age, 24.2% had normal nutritional status, 48.9% were overweight, and 26.6% were obese. The prevalence of anemia in the study group was 58.9%. Regarding the relationship between maternal nutritional status and caloric intake of milk, it was determined that overweight and obese mothers provide breast milk with fewer calories compared to mothers with normal nutritional status (p = 0.04), this result allows affirm that the nutritional status of the mother is related to the caloric intake of the milk produced. Therefore, it is recommended to identify pregnant mothers with a high risk of nutritional alteration in order to provide nutritional advice in time and thus achieve an improvement in the caloric intake of breast milk.
