Objective:To investigate the serum levels of calcium(Ca),ferrum(Fe),zinc(Zn)and copper(Cu)related to the neonate de-velopment and growth during pregnancy,with seventy pairs of pregnant women and neonates in Lanzhou taken as the study objects.Methods:Serum levels of Ca,Fe,Zn,Cu were detected in both pregnant women and neonates. Results:The levels of Ca,Fe and Zn in a newborn were much higher than those in his mother.The content of Ca,Fe and Zn in maternal blood had positive correlation with their content in cord blood;there was also positive correlation between the cord blood levels of Ca,Cu and the weight of newborn.Conclusion:Nutritional level of pregnant women is positively related to the quality of the newborn development.The trace elements level should be closely monitored and appropriately supplemented in pregnant women.
