Abstract	:	Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible associations between maternal zinc and neonatal characteristics. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 226 pairs of mothers-neonates in Isfahan, Iran. Maternal and neonatal characteristics were documented. Cord blood zinc was measured by atomic absorption. Results: The means of zinc concentration was 0.81±0.18 and it was higher in neonates with appropriate weight 0.82 ± 0.18 than in those with high 0.75 ± 0.19 or low 0.65±0.12 birth weight. Bivariate correlation analyses showed significant correlation between zinc and neonatal weight (r=0.158, p= 0.042). Conclusions: The cord blood zinc concentration of normal-weight neonates was higher than other neonates. These results suggest that maternal serum zinc may influence neonatal birth weight.
