Size‐at‐Birth Standards for a Melanesian Population
Asia-Oceania Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1988AbstractBy sampling all singleton births occurring to clinic‐attending Nivanuatu over an 18‐month period, the percentile distributions of the newborn infant's weight, length and head and chest circumferences were determined. The mean values for males and females respectively were: birth weight 3,162 and 3,085 g, crown‐heel length 50.6 and 50.1 cm, head

Intelligence, Birth Order, and Family Size
Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 2012The analysis of the National Child Development Study in the United Kingdom ( n = 17,419) replicates some earlier findings and shows that genuine within-family data are not necessary to make the apparent birth-order effect on intelligence disappear. Birth order is not associated with intelligence in between-family data once the number of siblings is ...

Genetic Control of Size at Birth
2005Size at birth is a heritable trait: estimates vary between 30% and 70%, but associations may be confounded by interactions with the maternal-uterine environment. Maternal smoking, length of gestation and parity could confound overall estimates of birth weight inheritance.

Small size at birth and later diabetic pregnancy
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1998To determine whether small size at birth was associated with an increased risk of diabetes in pregnancy.Linked birth cohorts were evaluated: that of women born at 37-44 weeks' gestation in 1974, and that of their offspring born 1995-1996, at which time birth certificate data included a checkbox for maternal diabetes.

Birth order and family size have been shown to be associated with children’s development in the areas of intellectual achievement, psychosocial adjustment, and physical growth. However, the amount of research and consistency of the relationships reported differ among the three outcome areas.

Effect of genome on size at birth
1989Size at birth is the outcome of length of gestation and rate of embryo/fetal growth. Among mammals there is a wide range in gestation length although for any particular species pregnancy is of characteristic duration. Fetal growth rate also varies and it seems that mammals can be divided into a small number of groups on the basis of their intrauterine ...
