The authors studied 1,024 newborns in Recife, Brazil, to determine the association between arm circumference and birth weight. A strong correlation between these two parameters was found (R = +0.78). Specificity and sensitivity of this measurement in detecting low birth weight were also high. The authors concluded that arm circumference can be used as an alternative method of detecting at-risk neonates in areas where birth weight cannot be measured accurately.
作者对巴西累西腓的1024名新生儿进行了研究，以确定臂围与出生体重之间的关联。发现这两个参数之间存在很强的相关性（R = +0.78）。该测量方法在检测低出生体重方面的特异性和敏感性也很高。作者得出结论，在无法准确测量出生体重的地区，臂围可作为检测高危新生儿的替代方法。
