title: [Parturient socioeconomic level in Greater Santiago and various factors influencing the weight of their newborn infants].
abstract: A study in a representative sample of mothers and their newborns of Santiago City was carried out. It was found that present socioeconomic level (SEL) of the mother correlates with educational level, civil status and origin, as well as with anthropometrical parameters of nutritional status during her infancy. In a multiple regression analysis, however, SEL had little influence (0.56%) on the weight of the newborn. This finding suggests that there are other factors in these mothers that influence fetal growth.
