[33], is based on Hadlock et al.’s [34] ultrasound-derived growth curves and takes into account additional characteristics such as infant sex and maternal weight, height, and parity [35]. Infant birth weight z-scores were calculated according to the growth standards described above. Dietary ...
The body height and weight were rounded up to the nearest 0.1 cm and 100 g, respectively. 2.1.2.
