The measurement of weight, length and head circumference at birth was used to document the size and shape of infants born at term in a population where mothers are relatively short and underweight. Different patterns of intrauterine growth are proposed to explain the variation in the infant's appearance at birth. Most of the small-for-gestational-age infants were proportionately stunted. This pattern of fetal growth is probably characteristic of infants born to undernourished mothers in economically developing communities, and reflects prolonged intrauterine growth retardation.
在一个母亲相对矮小且体重不足的人群中，通过测量出生时的体重、身长和头围来记录足月儿的大小和体型。有人提出不同的子宫内生长模式来解释出生时婴儿外观的差异。大多数小于胎龄儿都有比例性发育迟缓。这种胎儿生长模式可能是经济欠发达社区中营养不良母亲所生婴儿的特征，反映了子宫内长期生长受限。
