Pediatrics, 1988
To the Editor.— In their recent paper Roche and co-workers1 use the data of the Fels Longitudinal Study for the construction of reference charts for head circumference for children from birth to 18 years of age. However, we believe that there are problems with the method they used to fit the percentile curves to the data.

Head Circumferences of Jamaican Infants
Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1973SUMMARYHead circumferences of 271 babies born at the University Hospital of the West Indies were measured at intervals during their first year of life. Growth was particularly good in the very early months and poor during the later months. Comparisons are made with other studies of negroes and whites, and the effects of malnutrition and unstimulating ...

Head Circumference Standards in Neonates
Journal of Child Neurology, 1994Head circumference at birth is an important measure of intrauterine growth, reflecting accurately brain growth and predicting subsequent development. Standards need to reflect the population and the factors that affect intrauterine growth in the population and must be constructed in a manner that is clinically useful and predictive. Many of the present

Alzheimer's disease and head circumference
Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2006Objective: Larger brains may contain more neurons and synaptic connections, providing a greater reserve against cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Larger head circumference (HC) may therefore be associated with later detection and diagnosis of AD.

Prediction of Malnutrition by the Ratio of the Head Circumference to the Chest Circumference
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1993This study was carried out in West Bengal, amongst 127 rural children aged 1-5 years. It was found that the ratio of the head circumference to the chest circumference (H:C ratio) was valuable in predicting malnutrition. An increase in the ratio occurred 2-3 months before a drop in weight was noted; a decrease in the ratio was followed 2-3 months later ...

Head Circumference in Young Children With Autism
Journal of Child Neurology, 2013The hypothesis that the presence of macrocephaly might vary with the specific growth chart used was tested by using the Nellahus, CDC, and recent Rollins et al revision head circumference charts to plot the head circumferences of 253 children with neurodevelopmental disorders and with ages between 12 to 36 months; of these children, 59 had a diagnosis ...

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1991
Summary. Head circumference/abdominal circumference (HC/AC) ratios of the fetus are accepted as a means of distinguishing different patterns of growth retardation with a high ratio implying malnutrition of the fetus. Ponderal index (birthweight/length3) is used by paediatricians as a measure of neonatal wasting and would therefore be expected to ...

Age at which chest circumference overtakes head circumference in children
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1995Maximum likelihood method with probit transformation was applied to estimate median age at which chest circumference (CC) overtook head circumference (HC) in 1206 children from rural areas of Ballabhgarh in Haryana and in 1505 children from a slum population in Delhi.
