Objective: The associations of size at birth, with infant growth of head circumference, length and weight, and fat mass and body mass index in preschool children were examined.Design and Methods: In a population-based prospective cohort study among 3,941 children, head circumference, length and ...

In addition to these novel associations, our analysis replicated known signals for infant HC on chromosome 12q24.3113and a previously reported joint signal of infant HC and adult ICV on chromosome 2q32.112(Fig.2c).

(e.g., minority or impoverished women). Postnatal assessments of gestational age are based on measurement of infant size (birth weight, length, head circumference, foot length) or degree of neurologic or physical maturity, but they are not as accurate as a prenatal ultrasound examination before ...
We found that growth in height, weight, and head circumference of LGA PT children was well balanced during infancy and that only weight gain accelerated during subsequent years. This led to high BMIs comparable to those of LGA FT children. Being born both LGA and PT resulted in a median ...
The best predictive cut-off for this score was equal to − 1.378, which corresponds to a 20.1% probability of having a LGA infant. By using such a cut-off, the risk of LGA can be predicted in our sample with sensitivity of 55.2% and specificity of 79.0%. Conclusion At first ...
LGA newborns were heavier (p < 0.001), longer (p < 0.001), and had a bigger head circumference (p < 0.001) compared to AGA and SGA newborns. Gestational age and pre-pregnancy BMI were also significantly different (p = 0.002 and p < 0.001). The distribution of ...
Within the HAPPY study, we aim to evaluate the relationships between several physiological and psychological factors and antenatal and postpartum maternal and infant well-being. The key strength of this large prospective cohort study is the holistic (multifactorial) approach on perinatal well-being comb...
The patterns of longitudinal growth in this cohort for length were very similar to those of the WHO Child Growth Standards for term neonates [2] during the first months of life, but weight and head circumference differed from the WHO standards until 64 weeks’ postmenstrual age [18]. Discussio...
The second patient (patient 38), at 3 months of age, weighed 4.3 kg (− 2.29 z), had a length of 61 cm (− 0.29 z) and head circumference of 39.5 cm (− 1.58 z). His mother had gestational diabetes mellitus. He had wide anterior fontanel, long ears...
