The surface area and volume of 79 human fetuses (body weight 8-4080 g) were estimated by use of a geometric method. It was found that body surface area increased by a factor of about 70, and body volume by a factor of about 400, during the fetal period. Surface area (S, in cm2) was related to body weight (W, in g) and crown-heel length (L, in cm) according to the equation S = 6.4954 X W0.562 X L0.320 while volume (V, in cm3) was related to the same two variables by the equation V = 0.6065 X W0.752 X L0.638. The former equation was used to construct a nomogram for estimating the surface area of human fetuses and neonates.
采用几何方法估算了79例人类胎儿(体重8 - 4080克)的表面积和体积。结果发现,在胎儿期,身体表面积增加了约70倍,身体体积增加了约400倍。表面积(S,单位:cm²)与体重(W,单位:g)和顶臀长(L,单位:cm)的关系符合方程S = 6.4954×W⁰.⁵⁶²×L⁰.³²⁰,而体积(V,单位:cm³)与这两个变量的关系则符合方程V = 0.6065×W⁰.⁷⁵²×L⁰.⁶³⁸。前一个方程被用于构建一张列线图,以估算人类胎儿和新生儿的表面积。
