The sample of the study was made up with face-to-face questionnaire method of 50 pregnant women who applied to the hospital for giving birth, who did not have understanding and speaking problems, who could speak and understand Turkish and who accepted the study. The collection of cord blood samples for research; cord blood was obtained by umbilical cord clamping during the newborn intensive care unit (if there is no health problem of the newborn) by taking 5-10 ml of blood from the arterial part of the cord and slowly transferring it to trace element tubes (without EDTA). The level of zinc in cord blood was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) Graphite System Method. Also, the relationship between cord blood zinc level and independent variables showed nonparametric distribution, therefore, the data obtained were evaluated with percentage, arithmetic mean, frequency distributions and Kruskal Wallis H Test and Mann Whitney U Test were used for comparisons. The mean age of the pregnant women was found to be 30.08. in this research. The mean zinc level of cord blood was found to be 97.71 μg/dl in our study. A moderate, positive way and statistically significant relationship was found between maternal age and zinc level (rs=0.34; p<0.05).Also, in the results of correlation analysis which was conducted for determine the relationships between the zinc levels in the cord blood and the baby's weight, height, head circumference, week of birth and Apgar values; there was no statistically significant correlation (p>0.05) among of baby's weight (p = 0.566), height (p = 0.554), head circumference (p = 0.767), birth week (p = 0.104), 1st minute apgar score (p = 0.166), 5th minute apgar score (p = 0.089).
