Popis: Objective. To demonstrate if pregestational obesity in populations living at low and at high altitudes was associated with hemoglobin (Hb) reduction and if changes are observed in each of the trimesters of pregnancy. Methods. We used a database containing information from 1’712,639 pregnant women belonging to each of the 24 departments of Peru obtained during the period 2012 to 2017. Pre-pregnancy Weight and height were determined, and BMI was calculated and expressed as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. Data about weight gain during pregnancy was also recorded. Hemoglobin was measured using hemocue. Data are presented as uncorrected hemoglobin concentration (g/dL) as well as corrected hemoglobin concentration (g/dL) after adjusting its value by altitude as recommended by World Health Organization. Data were analyzed using bivariate and multivariate analysis. P
