A systematic collection of fetal morphometric measurements was started seven years ago in 1987 with the prospective entry of data into personal computer-based stations in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Singapore General Hospital. A cross-sectional study was done, comparing 2392 Chinese fetuses with 2117 Malay fetuses and 459 Indian fetuses from 18 to 40 weeks. The mean values of the head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL) of the 3 ethnic groups were analysed. There were no statistical significant differences in the head circumference and abdominal circumference of Chinese, Malay and Indian fetuses in Singapore. The Chinese and Malay fetal femur length appeared similar but were apparently shorter than the Indian femur length. Nomograms of head circumference, abdominal circumference and femur length were constructed for application to fetuses of all 3 ethnic groups.
七年前，即1987年，新加坡总医院妇产科开始系统收集胎儿形态测量数据，并将数据前瞻性录入基于个人电脑的工作站。开展了一项横断面研究，比较了18至40周的2392例华裔胎儿、2117例马来裔胎儿和459例印度裔胎儿。分析了这三个种族群体的头围（HC）、腹围（AC）和股骨长度（FL）的平均值。新加坡华裔、马来裔和印度裔胎儿的头围和腹围没有统计学上的显著差异。华裔和马来裔胎儿的股骨长度似乎相似，但明显短于印度裔胎儿的股骨长度。构建了头围、腹围和股骨长度的列线图，用于所有三个种族群体的胎儿。
