Body mass index was lower, and gravidity, hypertension, and Cesarean-section rates were higher in anemic mothers, while feeding difficulty, hospitalization duration, and Neonatal intensive care unit admission rate were higher in the neonates born to them. Mothers with moderately severe anemia were younger, had higher parity, and a higher prevalence of antepartum hemorrhage compared to the mild anemia group. Their offspring, although not small for gestational age, had lower birth weights. The adverse maternal-neonatal outcomes associated with anemia were less common in the Hispanic mother-infant dyads compared to the B and NHW.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2025-0386_abs_004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Maternal anemia is associated with significant complications in term neonates and their mothers.
