  1. Macrosomia in Southern Morocco Prof. Amal KORRIDA Higher Institute of Nursing Professions and Health Techniques, ISPITS of Agadir-Annex of Tiznit, Ministry of Health, Morocco Cellular Biology and Molecular Genetics Laboratory, Faculty of Sciences, Ibn Zohr University, Agadir, Morocco International Symposium of Diabetes & Nutrition July, 6-8th, 2018, Rabat, Morocco

  2. Introduction Macrosomia = obstetric term for birth weight ≥ 4000 g 60% of macrosomic infants are born to mothers without identifiable risk factors 80% of the cases are not associated to maternaldiabetesmellitus !! In metropolitan cities, macrosomia prevalence = 5.64% ~ 14.37% Objectives Determine the prevalence of macrosomia in healthy non-diabetic mothers Predict this disease based on its associated risk factors

  3. Materials & Methods Case-Control study (n = 78, CHP Tiznit, November-December 2016)

  4. Results Macrosomia prevalence @ Tiznit Province = 35.89 % Mean birth weight [cases] = 4 310.71 ± 246.96 g vs [Controls] = 3 076.00 ± 533.97 g Maternal lifestyle behaviors +sociodemographic factors = not associated with macrosomia

  5. Discussion & Conclusion Pilot study designed to contribute in macrosomia prevention by identifying its risk factors in non-diabetic mothers at Tiznit / Souss-Massa Pre-pregnancy BMI > 25 kg/m² Pre-existing overweight/obesity Hormone therapy Mediterranean diet + Physical activity = protective factors against macrosomia Independent Risk Factors (IRF) GWG + IRF should be routinely implemented by health professional performing prenatal care Parents should be sensitized about macrosomia prevention  Mothers have to decrease their perinatal weight by surveilling their lifestyle behaviors Korrida, A.
