A study of 123 new born infants
This paper is based on a study of 123 new born infants selected from general wards, private nursing homes. It was found that the average weight of babies born to mothers of upper social class was more than that of middle and lower social class. The chest and head circumference of upper social class was greater than the middle and lower social class, but there was no difference in their length. It was interesting to note that the incidence of prematurity was much higher in the middle and lower social class and was the incidence of congenital anomalies.
