Abstract
An observational descriptive study was carried out with the aim to characterize the maternal cholesterol value of the first pregnancy trimester, as risk marker of low birth weight in pregnant woman belonging to the north area policlinic in Ciego Avila, from January to December, 2010. The study universe was constituted by 21 pregnant women that contributed newborn babies whose weight was less than 2500 g. The information was gathered from the individual medical record of the mother and from the obstetric card of the pregnant woman.
