Skinfold thickness measurements were made at biceps, triceps, subscapular, and suprailiac sites on both sides on 265 full-term newborn infants. The mothers were classified as thin (25), normal (179), or obese (61) on the basis of their triceps skinfold thicknesses. At all skinfold sites the babies of the obese mothers were significantly fatter than the babies of normal mothers, and the babies of the normal mothers were significantly fatter than those of the thin mothers. There was a highly significant positive correlation between maternal triceps thickness and the baby's sum of skinfold thicknesses. Hypertension was common during the pregnancies of the obese mothers and was associated with a significant reduction in the babies' skinfold thicknesses. When each of the 61 obese mothers were matched for parity, blood pressure, and smoking habit with 61 non-obese mothers the babies of the obese mothers still had significantly greater skinfold thicknesses than the babies of non-obese mothers.
对265名足月新生儿双侧的肱二头肌、肱三头肌、肩胛下和髂嵴上部位进行了皮褶厚度测量。根据母亲的肱三头肌皮褶厚度，将母亲分为瘦（25人）、正常（179人）或肥胖（61人）三类。在所有皮褶部位，肥胖母亲的婴儿比正常母亲的婴儿明显更胖，正常母亲的婴儿比瘦母亲的婴儿明显更胖。母亲肱三头肌厚度与婴儿皮褶厚度总和之间存在高度显著的正相关。肥胖母亲孕期高血压很常见，且与婴儿皮褶厚度显著降低有关。当61名肥胖母亲中的每一位与61名非肥胖母亲在产次、血压和吸烟习惯方面进行匹配时，肥胖母亲的婴儿皮褶厚度仍显著大于非肥胖母亲的婴儿。
