The incidence of low birthweight infants, the effect of intrauterine growth retardation on anthropometric measurements, and local standards of intrauterine growth curves for weight, crown-heel length and head circumference together with curves of body measurement ratios of weight/length, weight/head circumference and weight/length x head circumference are presented for the population of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania). Acomparison is made with a standard composed for a Caucasian community with completely different socio-economic and nutritional status. From 28 to 34 weeks of gestation weight gain in Dar es Salaam foetuses was reduced, while length and head circumference were relatively less affected. However, an increased intrauterine growth velocity was recorded from 34 to 38 weeks of gestation.
本文给出了坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆地区低体重儿的发病率、宫内生长迟缓对人体测量指标的影响、宫内生长曲线的当地标准（体重、顶臀长和头围）以及体重/身长、体重/头围和体重/身长×头围的身体测量比值曲线。并与一个由社会经济和营养状况完全不同的高加索人群体制定的标准进行了比较。在达累斯萨拉姆地区，妊娠28至34周时胎儿体重增加减少，而身长和头围受影响相对较小。然而，在妊娠34至38周时记录到宫内生长速度加快。
