Background and Aim: Zinc, Copper and Magnesium are essential for the development of the fetus and maternal health. This study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal prenatal body mass index (BMI) on trace elements (copper, magnesium and zinc) status among third-trimester pregnant women. Methods: In this analytic cross-sectional study, 400 pregnant women in the third trimester were randomly selected from the women who were referred to selected health centers for their routine care. It investigated demographic, nutritional and clinical factors and fasting blood samples were obtained. Serum levels of Zn, Cu, and Mg were analyzed using standard kits (Dialab, Australia). Results: Participants' mean age was 27 years, the mean BMI was 32 and the mean gestational age at blood sampling was 28 weeks. The mean serum Zn, Cu, and Mg concentrations were 73·7 μg/dl, 202.9 μg/dl and 2.13 gr/dl respectively. Serum Cu concentrations are negatively correlated with BMI. The highest BMI group had the lowest serum Cu concentrations, whereas the lowest BMI group had the highest; the differences were significant between the BMI groups (P<0·05). Lower zinc levels were found in underweight and obese women when compared to women with normal BMI. Conclusion: Both high and low prenatal BMI are associated with alterations in trace element status. In the face of concurrent deficiencies of micronutrients in most developing countries, it appears that maintenance of appropriate weight and food diversification/fortification during pregnancy would be alternative ways of mitigating the consequences associated with abnormal prenatal weight.
