Anthropometric standards in normal Saudi newborns at sea level
1Department of Pediatrics, King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Abstract:
Normal anthropometric standards are presented for Saudi newborns at sea level between 38 and 42 weeks' gestation with a mean gestation age of 40.0 weeks for boys and 40.1 weeks for girls. These standards are based on cross-sectional measurements performed by the author and well-instructed nurses using standard measurement techniques. Each set of observations was normally distributed, except the head circumference of the girls, which was bimodal. A significant correalation was found between the five parameters when taken in pairs. Mean, standard deviation, and centiles were calculated. The results obtained in this study are presented and compared with national and international data. The need for a national study of perinatal growth is emphasized.
