Anthropometric measurements were made on 4,952 newborns from a Peruvian urgan population. Newborns characterized by high subcutaneous fat and high muscle had significantly greater birth weights and recumbent lengths when compared to their counterparts with low subcutaneous fat and muscle. Similarly, newborns characterized by high muscle and low fat had significantly greater birth weights and recumbent lengths that newborns characterized by low muscle and high fat. It is postulated that an increase in newborn protein and calorie reserves results in a greater increase in birth weight and recumbent length than an increase in calorie reserves alone. Evaluations of maternal antropometric characteristics indicate that variations in birth weight and recumbent length of the newborn are affected more by maternal nutritional status than by maternal stature.
对来自秘鲁城市人口的4952名新生儿进行了人体测量。与皮下脂肪和肌肉含量低的新生儿相比，皮下脂肪和肌肉含量高的新生儿出生体重和卧位长度明显更大。同样，肌肉含量高而脂肪含量低的新生儿比肌肉含量低而脂肪含量高的新生儿出生体重和卧位长度明显更大。据推测，新生儿蛋白质和热量储备的增加比单纯热量储备的增加会导致出生体重和卧位长度更大幅度的增加。对母亲人体测量特征的评估表明，新生儿出生体重和卧位长度的变化受母亲营养状况的影响大于受母亲身高的影响。
