Bajo peso al nacer plaguicidas embarazo recién nacido Low birth rate pesticides pregnancy new bron Introduction: Literature relates reproductive disorders to population exposed to pesticides due to environmental or work reasons. Among others, a relationship to low birth weight (LBW) has been established.Objective: To compare and analyze birth weights in areas with intensive use of pesticides and in the rest of the province.Material and Methods: A temporal series was analyzed between 1995 and 2008. By the year 2010, 8588 deliveries had been analyzed at the capital hospital. Descriptive measures and statistical tests were calculated with InfoStat v. 2008.Results: the rate of newborns with low birth weight ranged between 3.5 (1994) and 6.5% (1996) in Anta; and between 5.4% (2003) and 7.4% (2007) in Orán. For the rest of the province it ranged between 6.4% (1995) and 8.5% (2007). When analyzing the series, no significant differences in the proportion of low birth weight in exposed areas were observed when compared to the rest of the province of Salta. However, the mother’s origin was significantly associated (x2= 63.52; p<0.0001) with low birth rates when all deliveries were analyzed at the capital hospital. Confidence interval for odds ratio with ?=0.05 was (1.69-2.39). There is a double chance of low birth weight when mothers live in areas where pesticides are used.Discussion: from the series of rates of newborns with low birth weight it is seen that they have been lower in areas exposed to pesticides than in the rest of the province, with prevalence under 0.08. This can be understood as a sub-record of low weight due to referral of risk pregnancies to the capital hospital. The study of environmental burden in risk pregnancies has to continue. Introducción: numerosas bibliografías relacionan desórdenes reproductivos en población expuesta por razón laboral o ambiental a agroquímicos. Entre otras, se han establecido relaciones con bajo peso al nacer (PN).Objetivo: Analizar comparativamente los pesos al nacer en departamentos con uso intensivo de plaguicidas y resto de la provincia de Salta.Material y Métodos: Se analizó una serie temporal desde 1995 a 2008. Para el año 2010 se analizaron 8588 partos del Hospital capitalino. Se calcularon medidas descriptivas y pruebas estadísticas con InfoStat v. 2008.Resultados: la procedencia de la madre resultó asociada en forma fuertemente significativa (x2= 63,52; p<0,0001) con los bajos pesos del recién nacido cuando se analizaron todos los partos del hospital capitalino. El intervalo de confianza para la razón de chances con ?=0,05 fue (1,69-2,39), resultando doble la chance de presentarse bajo PN cuando la madre habita localidades donde se aplican plaguicidas.Discusión: de la serie de las tasas de recién nacidos con bajo peso al nacer surge que han sido inferiores en los departamentos expuestos a plaguicidas que en el resto de la provincia, con prevalencias inferiores a 0,08. Puede interpretarse como un subregistro de bajos pesos por derivación de los embarazos de riesgo al hospital capitalino. Se debe profundizar el estudio de la carga ambiental de los embarazos de riesgo. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
