title: [Body composition and lipidic profile in women's during the third trimester of pregnancy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To demonstrate the behavior of body composition and lipid profile in pregnant women during the third trimester and who attended a Regional hospital Tepatitlán, Jalisco, Mexico.
  
  
  METHODS
  In an observational study, transversal, analytic 36 apparently healthy pregnant women were included with gestational age between 33 to <42 weeks. Anthropometric measurements, body composition and lipid profile were obtained. Student t test, Mann Whitney, chi square, Pearson and Spearman correlation for data analysis were used.
  
  
  RESULTS
  11 participants were overweight and 8 obese. Significant association between higher concentrations of triglycerides and TG / HDL-c index and pre-gestational BMI (p = 0.039 and p = 0.032 respectively) were found. Concentration greater than 200 mg / dL triglycerides are associated with an increased interpregnancy period of 3 years (p = 0.012). There was a significant correlation between abdominal deliveries with anthropometric indicators, pre-gestational weight, pre-gestational BMI and current BMI.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is a direct correlation between body composition and lipid profile with age and the incidence of cesarean section. It is necessary to establish a more precise reference criterion for both the longitudinal track for every pregnant woman and for purposes of parametric comparison.
