Anthropometric measurements of singleton live full-term newborns in Aden, Yemen.


ABSTRACT: Background:Neonatal anthropometry is the single most portable, universally applicable cheap, and non-invasive technique that deals with a variety of human body measurements. The anthropometric data for newborns, infants and children reflect their general health, nutritional status, and future survival by tracking trends in growth and development over time. Patients and methods:The present study was conducted on 1000 Yemeni singleton live full-term newborns (37-42 weeks gestation), 488 males and 512 females during first 24?h of delivery at Al-Sadaqa Teaching Hospital, Aden, Yemen during the years 2002-2003. Results:The data analysis of seven anthropometric values for 1000 Yemeni term newborns of both sexes revealed the mean birth weight and SD was 3113.04?g (±519.52), crown-heel length, head, chest, mid-arm, abdominal and calf circumferences were 48.91 (1.62), 33.78 (1.13), 32.09 (1.48), 10.09 (1.02), 30.10 (1.92), and 10.94 (1.04) respectively. The Ponderal Index was calculated with mean value of 2.65 (0.40). This study showed significant sex differences in all the anthropometric measurements principally in the birth weight (3187.66 versus 3039.04) and crown-heel length CHL (49.28 versus 48.53). (P?
