Considereing that the clinical and nutritional condition of the mother may impact the obstetric results, prenatal and health of newborns (NBs), the objective of this study was to analyze the nutritional, obstetric results and clinical conditions of the teen mothers and their NBs comming from pregnancy resolution at MATER - Maternidade do Complexo Aeroporto, in 2005. This research is based on a retrospective review of 585 medical records and the statistical analysis undertook the SPSS programme, version 15.0. The qualitative variables were presented in simple frequency and contingency tables; measures of central tendency and variability were used for quantitative variables. The bivariate association was described by the Sommer d coeficient and the multivariable analysis included logistic regression modelling. The result indicates that 46% of the teen pregnant mothers were below normal weight, 22,6% were overweight and obese, and only 36,4% of the teen mothers were of normal weight. The prevaling method of birth was vaginal birth (78,8%); furthermore, among the vaginal birth cases, 93,5% of pregnancies went to full term. About 3,9% of the newborns were below normal weight. 98,6% of the cases had normal Apgar at 5 minute. A weak and statistically significant correlation was found between the mothersweight and the newbornscephalic perimeter, height and weight ( p? 0,05). It was observed that vaginal birth has a protecting effect on asfixia risk (? = 0,1) at 5 minute apgar (OR = 0,268) reducing it to 70%.
