To test the hypothesis that early linear growth is independent of changes in weight we undertook took simple anthropometry in 45 term infants daily to day 7 after birth. Linear growth proceeded rapidly and independently of changes in weight variations from the first day after birth; we suggest that this implies 'programmed' continuity of skeletal growth, possibly fuelled at the expense of other body tissues.
为了验证早期线性生长与体重变化无关这一假设,我们对45名足月儿在出生后至第7天每天进行简单人体测量。线性生长从出生后第一天起就迅速进行且与体重变化无关;我们认为这意味着骨骼生长具有“程序性”连续性,可能是以牺牲其他身体组织为代价来提供能量。
