Abstract: Distributions of birth weights of twins and singletons born at three southeastern Brazilian hospitals were compared after adjustment for gestational age, its quadratic and cubic terms, sex, type of pregnancy, as well as their interactions. The pattern of twin fetal growth rate was retarded in comparison to that of singletons, regardless of the socioeconomic level of the examined population, but the gestational age at which this retardation started seems to be correlated to the income of the mothers. In all cas… Show more

“…Our intervention also supported by health behavior change communication theory, the 'Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction' which reported a strong intention of a person to perform a behavior, accompanied by the necessary skills and abilities to perform it, and under a conducive environment results in the expected behavior change (28). This behavior change communication message, other than theoretical aspect it also includes a practical demonstration (visual, interactive and skillful) and since its participatory nature engages the pregnant women involved on preparing a nutritionally diversi ed and balanced diet, motivated to take iron/folete, follow disease prevention and treatment practices and also a need of support from the family and community.…”

“…No presente estudo, com maior número de casos, verificou-se um aumento de peso dos recém-nascidos correspondente a um ganho de peso materno de até 27kg; contudo, a partir de 16kg, este ganho foi mínimo (153g) e teria sido detectado em função do maior número de casos, além do fato de que os gêmeos foram excluídos no atual estudo. Beiguelman e col. 25 26 , não haja efetivamente evidências de que um aumento de peso gestacional isoladamente possa melhorar o resultado perinatal, há que se salientar que esta afirmação não é de consenso na literatura, pois o aumento do peso não ocorre, na verdade, "isoladamente", mas é o resultado do consumo regular de alimentos diversos, que promovem um aporte nutricional completo e otimizam o desenvolvimento e crescimento fetal, indicados pelo peso de nascimento, mas não limitados exclusivamente àquele resultado 27 .…”
