Abstract
AbstractBy sampling all singleton births occurring to clinic‐attending Nivanuatu over an 18‐month period, the percentile distributions of the newborn infant's weight, length and head and chest circumferences were determined. The mean values for males and females respectively were: birth weight 3,162 and 3,085 g, crown‐heel length 50.6 and 50.1 cm, head circumference 34.3 and 33.7 cm, and chest circumference 31.6 and 31.5 cm. The resulting standards may be used in the clinical evaluation of size for gestational age.
