Hospital data on 306 mother-infant pairs in Cobán, Guatemala, were studied to assess factors responsible for low infant birth weights involving the two general kinds of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), these being Type I (symmetric stunting) and Type II (asymmetric stunting or wasting). The results indicate that the Type I IUGR observed arose primarily from long-term poverty, malnutrition, and chronic poor living conditions, while much of the Type II IUGR seemed attributable to maternal disorders affected by short interbirth intervals.
对危地马拉科万306对母婴的医院数据进行了研究，以评估导致低出生体重婴儿的因素，这些因素涉及两种一般类型的子宫内生长迟缓（IUGR），即I型（对称性发育迟缓）和II型（非对称性发育迟缓或消瘦）。结果表明，观察到的I型IUGR主要源于长期贫困、营养不良和长期恶劣的生活条件，而大部分II型IUGR似乎归因于受短生育间隔影响的母亲疾病。
