Activity Title	Fasting blood glucose and newborn birth weight of non- diabetic Sudanese women
Details	Abnormal birth weight constitutes a major risk factor for a wide spectrum of childhood morbidities. Previous reports showed accumulating evidence for chronic maternal hypoglycaemian Objectives Course Objective Although risk factors for abnormal birth weight has been extensively investigated, whether the physiological range of glucose tolerance affects birth weight in non-diabetic mothers needs to be verified by further research.. To assess the effect of maternal sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric and anthropometric measurements, fasting and 2-hour blood glucose levels on birth weight.. One hundred and thirty four women were followed from early pregnancy until delivery at Saad Abualila Hospital, Khartoum, Sudan. Fasting and 2-hour glucose levels following administration of 75 g oral glucose was performed in the third trimester. Association between birth weight and maternal sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric and anthropometric measurements, haemoglobin, fasting and 2-hour blood glucose levels were assessed by linear regression analysis.. The mean (SD) birth weight was 3127.7 (480.0) g, while the 10. Linear regression analysis demonstrated significant association between...
