“…These results suggest that birth weight rather than length of gestation is susceptible to the dietary pattern. Birth weight is the most widely used anthropometric indicator for newborns, in which an increase indicates the promotion of growth and development [42]. In 2012, an estimated 874,000 babies were born SGA in China, with 15,100 attributable neonatal deaths [43].…”

This study aimed to derive a maternal dietary pattern to explain the variation in B vitamins during pregnancy and to investigate this pattern in relation to birth outcomes. A total of 7347 women who gave birth to live newborns less than one year were included. Their dietary pattern during pregnancy was derived using the reduced-rank regression method with six B vitamins as response variables. Associations between dietary pattern score and birth weight, gestational age at delivery, birth weight Z score, low birth weight, preterm, and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) were estimated using generalised linear mixed models. We identified a high B-vitamin dietary pattern characterised by high intakes of animal foods, vegetables, fungi and algae, legumes, and low intakes of oils and cereals. Women in the highest quartile of this pattern score had newborns with a 44.5 g (95% CI: 13.8, 75.2 g) higher birth weight, 0.101 (95% CI: 0.029, 0.172) higher birth weight Z score, and 27.2% (OR: 0.728; 95% CI: 0.582, 0.910) lower risk of SGA than those in the lowest quartile. Our study suggested that adherence to the high B-vitamin dietary pattern during pregnancy was associated with a higher birth weight and a lower risk of SGA.

“…Between 7 and 9 months of age, substantial growth in head circumference is accompanied by rapid cerebral growth, myelination of the limbic system, enhanced associative pathways, and improved inhibitory control. 23 Poor physical growth may be a marker for disruption of these important steps in brain development.The MUAC is easy, cost-effective, and reliable for identifying risk neonates and has a better correlation with birth weight 25 . In the present study, in the AGA group, the range of MUAC was 8 to 15 cm and the mean±SD was 12.76 ±1.60cm.…”

Background: The burden of having small for gestational age (SGA) children is high in low- and middle-income countries, mainly in South Asia. Identifying these low birth weight and SGA infants and referring them to higher centers for effective intervention will help reduce neonatal mortality and morbidity. Anthropometric measurements of the neonatal population, especially birth weight measurements, constitute an important scientific research tool for studying the determinants and consequences of impaired or excessive fetal growth. Objective: To find an alternative anthropometric procedure, the present study was done to measure and compare birth weight with crown heel length (CHL), head circumference (HC), and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) as predictors of birth weight in small for gestational age (SGA). Methods: This cross-sectional, analytical study was done in the Department of Anatomy, Rangpur Medical College, Rangpur from July 2020 to June 2021 on 200 newborns of both sexes with gestational age between 37 and 42 weeks. The newborn was selected and measured within 24 hours of birth. 100 term newborns weighted <2.5 kg regarded as SGA were the subjects of the study. Another 100-term newborns weighted >2.5 kg regarded as AGA served as control. The birth weight, head circumference, mid-upper arm circumference, and crown heel length were measured and a comparison of all the variables was done between AGA and SGA newborns. Data was analyzed by using a statistical package for social sciences (SPSS version 26). Result: The mean± SD of birth weight in AGA and SGA groups was 2.99 ±0.31 and 2.10±0.24 respectively; it was observed that the mean± SD of crown heel length, head circumference, and mid-upper arm circumference and Ponderal index in AGA group was significantly higher than SGA group; however the MAC/HC ratio was almost similar between AGA and SGA groups. All the above variables were significantly correlated with birth weight in both AGA and SGA groups. Conclusion: Some simple and inexpensive measurements of newborns especially the head circumference of SGA newborns are as effective as birth weight measurement; crown heel length, and mid-upper arm circumference could also be used to predict birth weight in SGA newborns.

“…La correlación entre el peso y el PT, se da también con el perímetro de la pantorrilla, entre otros. De ahí que sean complementarias para neonatos con bajo peso, pero que no reemplazarían a éste como medida principal de evaluación del crecimiento fetal (17) .…”

Las medidas antropométricas se han usado para evaluar el crecimiento fetal y neonatal, además de determinar factores de riesgo de forma temprana. Clásicamente se han tomado el peso, talla, perímetro cefálico, torácico y abdominal. Son usadas para establecer condiciones como peso bajo o elevado para la edad gestacional, y con base en esto poder definir riesgos tempranos y tardíos. Otra medida sumamente importante es el perímetro cefálico, misma que determina neonatos con potencial riesgo neurológico. Estas tres medidas son clave como parte de la evaluación inicial neonatal, además de que se incluyen en el seguimiento del crecimiento y desarrollo infantil. No obstante, otras mediciones rutinarias como el perímetro torácico y abdominal, en neonatos con adaptación espontánea y exploración física normal (neonatos sanos), puede que aporten poco acerca del estado de salud neonatal. Estas últimas medidas no forman parte de los parámetros de seguimiento del crecimiento infantil, ni cuentan con gráficas de percentiles extrapolables para género y edad gestacional. Todas estas medidas están condicionadas por múltiples factores como genética, raza y nutrición, entre otros. Es momento de analizar las medidas rutinarias al momento del nacimiento de neonatos sanos, y priorizar las extrapolables a implicaciones clínicas relevantes.
