  • Title: [Variation of anthropometric traits in normal newborns].
    Author: Dubrova IuE, Dambueva IK, Prokhorovskaia VD, Kholod ON.
    Journal: Genetika; 1991 Nov; 27(11):2013-9. PubMed ID: 1802787.
    Abstract:
    Variation of the set of anthropometric traits was studied in 302 normal singleton newborns (174 boys, 128 girls). Birth order has a significant effect on birth weight, body length and circumference of head and breast. The number of minor deviations from development per newborn (stigma) is negatively correlated with body weight and size. The number of stigma is significantly higher in a group of newborns deviated in normal body proportions. The index of fluctuating asymmetry is negatively correlated with body weight and size.
