ABSTRACT. Anthropometric standards for weight, length and head circumference of Icelandic infants at birth are presented. The material concerning weight and crown‐heel length consisted of 43364 newborns, the total number of infants born in 1972‐1981. The standards for head circumference were based on 28978 infants born in 1975‐1981.

Diabetes Care, 2007
Size at birth is strongly related to a number of maternal factors including parity, length of gestation, mother's adult size, and mother's own birth weight (1). The importance of genetic factors has come from studies of monozygous and dizygous twins, where estimates of heritability of birth weight range from 30 to 70% (2,3). Ounsted et al. (4), however,

A Methodology for Evaluating Size at Birth
Acta Paediatrica, 1985ABSTRACT. Data from the Swedish Medical Birth Registration, 1977‐78, were utilized to develop methods of calculating reference standards for evaluating size at birth. Using the clinical information available, a ‘healthy’ sub‐group was extracted. The individual distributions of birthweight (BW), birth length (BL) and birth headcircumference (BHc) at ...

Symphysis–fundal height and size at birth
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2003Symphysis–fundal (SF) height prepregnancy weight weight at delivery height weight gain body mass index (BMI) and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) measurements have been associated with birth size. However the influence of some of these measurements on birth weight seems to be more important in populations with moderate-to-severe malnutrition.

Size at birth and neonatal and postneonatal mortality
Acta Paediatrica, 2002Birthweight is a crude indicator of size at birth. Some neonatologists and obstetricians have advocated the use of ponderal index and birthlength to characterize size at birth. This paper examines the associations between various size‐at‐birth indicators and neonatal and postneonatal mortality, with an emphasis on ponderal index and birthlength.

Size at Birth Predicts Age at Menarche
Pediatrics, 2001Objective. This study examines the relationship of intrauterine growth, measured by size and maturity at birth, to age at menarche, while also considering a wide range of other factors that may affect maturation. The research is motivated by the current debate about the importance of the prenatal environment as a ...

Otitis Media with Effusion and Size at Birth
British Journal of Audiology, 1998To investigate whether recurrent or persistent otitis media with effusion (OME) was associated with particular patterns of fetal growth, we conducted a case control study of 129 children admitted for insertion of grommets and 150 controls. The risk of OME was not statistically significantly related to gestational age or individual measures of size at ...

Modelling of Reference Values for Size at Birth
Acta Paediatrica, 1989ABSTRACT. Data from the Swedish Medical Birth Registration, 1977–1981 were used to apply methods of constructing reference standards for size at birth. Using clinical information a ‘healthy’ sub‐population was extracted. The conditional distributions of birthweight (BW) and birth‐length (BL) for each week of Gestational age, and the conditional ...

SIZE AT BIRTH IN AN INNER-CITY POPULATION
American Journal of Perinatology, 1999Recent comparisons of growth curves and incidence of low birth weight are available for Caucasians and African-Americans or Hispanics. To compare size at birth in Hispanics with African-Americans in an inner-city population, we analyzed data on mother-infant pairs admitted to Jacobi Medical Center from January 1, 1995 until May 31, 1997 and those with ...

Size at birth of live‐born Saudi infants
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1984Summary. Anthropometric measurements were done on 967 singleton live‐born Saudi infants of gestational age 33 to 42 weeks who belonged to the high and middle social classes and who were born consecutively in Riyadh University Hospital. The 914 infants born at term (≥37 weeks) had a mean birthweight of 3.31 kg (SD 0.45), a mean length of 49.74 cm (SD 2.
