The purpose of this study was to develop intrauterine growth curves in a predominantly Hispanic population of low socioeconomic status near sea level and to compare them with published intrauterine growth curves. Infants born at Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center provided the study population. Gestational age was determined by maternal history and confirmed by Ballard clinical assessment in 6,100 infants. Growth curves were developed for weight, length, and head circumference from 24 through 44 weeks gestation. The intrauterine curves were similar to those developed from white non-Hispanic births in California and from white middle class infants born in Portland, OR. The Los Angeles curves differed from other curves developed in Denver, CO, where the infants were significantly smaller from the 34th week of gestation. The authors found no adverse effects on intrauterine growth by race or socioeconomic status. The curves presented in this paper are more appropriate than the Denver curves for white populations born near sea level regardless of socioeconomic status.
本研究的目的是绘制海平面附近社会经济地位较低的主要为西班牙裔人群的子宫内生长曲线，并将其与已发表的子宫内生长曲线进行比较。出生于洛杉矶县-南加州大学医学中心的婴儿构成了研究人群。通过产妇病史确定孕周，并经巴拉德临床评估在6100名婴儿中予以确认。绘制了妊娠24至44周期间体重、身长和头围的生长曲线。子宫内生长曲线与加利福尼亚州非西班牙裔白人婴儿以及俄勒冈州波特兰市出生的白人中产阶级婴儿所绘制的曲线相似。洛杉矶的曲线与科罗拉多州丹佛市绘制的其他曲线不同，丹佛的婴儿从妊娠第34周起明显更小。作者发现种族或社会经济地位对子宫内生长没有不利影响。本文所呈现的曲线比丹佛曲线更适用于海平面附近出生的白人人群，无论其社会经济地位如何。
