Factors affecting fetal growth and body composition

摘要: Abstract Our purpose was to identify factors affecting fetal growth with birth weight and body composition. STUDY DESIGN: A total of 183 singleton infants had weights estimates composition performed within 24 hours birth. Independent variables included were (1) maternal height, weight, pregravid gain, education, parity, (2) paternal height (3) neonatal sex gestational age. Best-fit stepwise regression analysis used correlate the independent fat-free mass, fat mass. RESULTS: Compared females, males greater ( p = 0.009) mass 0.0001) but not 0.32). The strongest predictors age R 2 0.10), 0.08), parity 0.08). By use significant we explained 29% variation in 30% 17% CONCLUSION: These data support concept that various genetic environmental may modify by differentially
