孕前体重或孕期体重增加等营养指标在发展中国家往往难以使用。因此，在一项对833名莫桑比克孕妇的研究中分析了中上臂周长的值，主要是在社区一级。臂围与估计的孕前体重（p <0.0001）和臂肌围（p <0.0001）相关。在研究的妇女中，4%的臂围低于23厘米，69%的妇女估计孕前身高体重低于标准的85%。研究组中有24%的人臂围低于25 cm，其中11人低于孕前身高体重估计值的85%。在莫桑比克孕妇中，上臂中围低于25厘米是营养不良的警告，低于23厘米是营养不良的强烈指标。
Nutritional indicators such as prepregnant weight or weight increase during pregnancy are often difficult to use in developing countries. The value of the mid-upper-arm circumference was therefore analyzed in a study of 833 Mozambican gravidae, mainly seen at community level. Arm circumference was associated with both the estimated prepregnancy weight (p less than 0.0001) and the arm muscle circumference (p less than 0.0001). Of the studied women, 4% had an arm circumference below 23 cm, and 69% of these women had an estimated prepregnant weight for height below 85% of standard. An arm circumference below 25 cm was encountered in 24% of the studied group, and 11 out of these 24% were below 85% of estimated prepregnancy weight for height. In Mozambican gravidae a mid-upper-arm circumference below 25 cm is a warning of malnutrition and below 23 cm is a strong indicator of malnutrition.
