Birth weight and birth length were compared with several growth measures, including body height and weight, linear measures of limbs, body diameters, and head circumference, in 726 Melbourne schoolchildren of both sexes age 5-18 years. The analysis of relationships between three categories of birth length, weight, and growth measures were based on z-scores and performed by using analysis of variance and partial correlation. The data showed that birth length was correlated with body height and birth weight was correlated with head circumference; the relationships were weak and were less clear around the age corresponding to the peak height velocity in either sex. Further studies are needed to determine the common underlying mechanisms responsible for these associations. Am. J. Hum. Biol. 11:772-778, 1999. Copyright 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
在726名年龄在5至18岁的墨尔本学龄儿童中,对出生体重和出生身长与多种生长指标进行了比较,这些生长指标包括身高和体重、四肢的线性指标、身体直径以及头围。基于z分数对出生身长、体重和生长指标这三类指标之间的关系进行分析,并采用方差分析和偏相关分析。数据显示,出生身长与身高相关,出生体重与头围相关;这些关系较弱,且在两性身高增长速度峰值对应的年龄附近不太明显。需要进一步研究以确定导致这些关联的共同潜在机制。《美国人类生物学杂志》11:772 - 778,1999年。版权所有1999年威利 - 利斯公司。
