  • Title: Birthweight: its relationship with maternal and newborn skinfold thickness.
    Author: Swain S, Bhatia BD, Pandey S, Pandey LK, Agrawal A.
    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 1991 Mar; 28(3):259-64. PubMed ID: 1937701.
    Abstract:
    Two hundred and forty seven pregnant women at term and their offsprings were studied. Maternal skinfold thickness was measured from ten different sites and newborn skinfold thickness was measured from four different sites in each set of cases. Maternal skinfold thickness was positively correlated with the birthweight and skinfold thickness of the offspring. The birthweight was also positively correlated with the skinfold thickness of offspring. The maternal axillary sites and offspring's subscapular site had higher inter correlation as well as with the birthweight of offspring.
