Altitude and birth weight

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1987
The effect of altitude on birth weight was measured with data in U.S. natality records from 1978 to 1981 after correlation with the mean altitude of the mother's resident county. For comparison of the low birth weight (LBW) rate at different altitudes, certain socioeconomic risk factors known to affect birth weight were controlled by the selection of ...

The determinants of birth weight

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1982
Presented are the results of multivariate regression analysis of the variations in birth weight of term babies associated with the socioeconomic, physical, and medical factors recorded in obstetric case notes at a London teaching hospital. The results show that the sex of the baby, parity, maternal smoking during the pregnancy, maternal height, weight,

Prepregnancy weight, weight gain, and birth weight

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1986
The effect of maternal weight gain on birth weight in 2946 live births with delivery after 37 weeks' gestation was studied at Moffitt Hospital, University of California (San Francisco), between September, 1980, and December, 1983. The sample was stratified into four categories according to prepregnancy weight for height with use of a body mass index ...

The contribution of low birth weight to infant mortality and childhood morbidity.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1985
The low-birth-weight infant remains at much higher risk of mortality than the infant with normal weight at birth. In the neonatal period, when most infant deaths occur, the proportion of low-birth-weight infants, especially those with very low weight, is

[Chinese neonatal birth weight curve for different gestational age].

Zhonghua er ke za zhi = Chinese journal of pediatrics, 2015
OBJECTIVE Since 1986, the reference of birth weight for gestational age has not been updated. The aim of this study was to set up Chinese neonatal network to investigate the current situation of birth weight in China, especially preterm birth weight, to ...

INFANTS OF LOW BIRTH WEIGHT

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1966
MANY infants who are small at birth have simply not remained in the uterus long enough to achieve expected size. In such cases it is assumed that maternofetal relations have been normal until the occurrence of an event or the development of an (acute) state resulting in the early delivery of an infant whose overall size, body composition and functional

Agreement between self-reported birth weight and birth certificate weights

Journal of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease, 2010
Birth weight is emerging as a potentially important risk factor for several chronic diseases with adult onset, including breast cancer. Because participant recall is frequently used to gather data on early life exposures, it is essential that the accuracy of recall be assessed and validated.

Relative effect of parental birth weight on infant birth weight at term

Clinical Genetics, 1987
The relations between some hereditary and environmental factors and the variation in infant birth weight were estimated by multiple linear regression analyses on a sample of 276 Scandinavian single term pregnancies.Gestational age explained 10.9%, fetal factors (maternal and paternal birth weights and fetal sex) 7.9%, maternal factors (parity, pre ...
