Nutritional and medical records of the infants of 198 women of a low socioeconomic group were correlated with results of the Denver Developmental Screening Test. At one year, the infants' developmental age was above the norm. In addition, selected medical, nutritional, and developmental variables, as indicated by charts of the Detroit Maternity and Infant Care Project, were statistically analyzed for interrelationships. No correlation was found between hemoglobin levels, even though they were low for some infants, and developmental indexes. Prenatal weight gain of the mothers was statistically significant in relation to their infants' birth weight, height, and head circumference. Thus periodic monitoring of weight throughout pregnancy is recommended.
对198名社会经济地位较低的女性所生婴儿的营养和医疗记录与丹佛发育筛查测试结果进行了关联分析。一岁时，这些婴儿的发育年龄高于正常水平。此外，根据底特律母婴护理项目的图表所示，对选定的医疗、营养和发育变量进行了相互关系的统计分析。未发现血红蛋白水平（尽管有些婴儿的血红蛋白水平较低）与发育指标之间存在相关性。母亲的孕期体重增加与其婴儿的出生体重、身高和头围在统计学上具有显著相关性。因此，建议在整个孕期定期监测体重。
