The curves for biparietal diameter, head circumference and brain weight with increasing age have different shapes, and these differences have been explained. Interconversion procedures are suggested. One important consequence of changing growth velocities relates to assessing prognosis for catch-up following adversity. On the assumption that catch-up of brain growth must occur within the period of the brain weight growth spurt, the interpretation of head circumference charts is discussed.
双顶径、头围和脑重量随年龄增长的曲线具有不同形状，且这些差异已得到解释。文中提出了相互转换的方法。生长速度变化的一个重要后果与评估逆境后追赶生长的预后有关。基于脑生长的追赶必须发生在脑重量增长突增期内这一假设，讨论了头围图表的解读。
