Scientific researches In terms of the effect of the diet of pregnant women on the health of the newborn, enhancing of this diet can be aimed at improving the health of the newborn. Newborn thyroid screening at birth is one of the common tests in the country, and it is valuable to examine the factors affecting its results.Methods: This study was a descriptive method of correlation type and 280 mothers were selected as available in the Gharazi hospital. The questionnaires included demographic information and FFQ dietary pattern with 117 items. The information was entered into spss software version 20 for analysis.Results: According to the results of this study, the level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in 263 babies (94.9%) was less than 4 and healthy babies, and in 14 babies (5.1%) was more than 4 and babies with hypothyroidism. The average TSH in infants was 2.05±1.12. Three healthy, western and traditional food patterns were observed in the mothers of these babies. A healthy diet reduces the risk of increasing TSH levels, and there was a correlation between the western diet and an increase in TSH more than 4, and a correlation between the traditional diet and a decrease in TSH less than 4, but none of the relationships were statistically significant. Evidence of the existence of an inverse and significant relationship between the education level of the mother and her western food pattern and the weight loss of the baby was observed at the error level of 1%.Conclusion: The evidence showed that in a healthy mother's diet, the newborn's TSH level and the newborn's weight are within the normal range. The risk of consuming western and traditional foods should be reminded to mothers by health workers. Manuscript profile
