Birth weight was dependent on maternal age, weight, body mass index, percentage body fat, and waist and hip circumference (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05). Normal Apgar score at 1\u00a0min after birth of male neonates was dependent on maternal BMI and neonatal head circumference whereas abnormal Apgar score in male and female neonates was dependent on maternal age and waist:hip ratio, respectively (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Maternal and neonatal body physique anthropometries can be used to identify mothers and neonates at risk of having birth complications.
