Neonatal Birth Weight Vartiations between Inland and Littoral Croatia

The aim of the study was to assess neonatal birth weight differences between inland and littoral Croatia, to identify birth weight groups with most pronounced differences, and possible variations in the rate of neonatal birth weight  4000 g between Šibenik area and the rest of littoral and inland Croatia. The study included data on 99.42% of 200, 740 live births recorded in 37 Croatian maternity hospitals during the 2001-2005 period. Distribution of 500-g birth weight groups in inland and littoral (counties with access to the Adriatic Sea) Croatia was analyzed irrespective of neonatal sex and gestational age. The highest rate of neonatal birth weight >4000 g was recorded in Šibenik-Knin County (5-year mean 18.32%) and was greater throughout the littoral as compared with inland Croatia (5-year mean 14.99% vs. 9.58%). A shift towards higher birth weight groups recorded throughout littoral as compared with inland Croatia supports the hypothesis on variation in anthropologic characteristics in the respective populations to be pronounced as early as at birth. Study results confirmed fetal macrosomia not to be exclusively characteristic of Šibenik-Knin County, since the rate of neonatal birth weight >4000 g was significantly higher in the entire littoral as compared with inland Croatia. These findings point to the need of additional studies of anthropologic and ethnic variations in the populations observed, also including socioeconomic variables and respective lifestyle, in order to identify the factors contributing most to differences between the two regions of Croatia.
