Analysis trends revealed decreasing slope birth cohorts born between 1905 1945 subsequent increase after 1958. indicated that 2027 would be similar 1970s. CONCLUSIONS mother hardly affected proportion. started latter half 1960s. This may attributable high economic growth since 1965 promoted industrial development led environmental pollution, which turn have lead deterioration intrauterine environment. changed 1958 exhibited toward proportion; due improvements obstetric care.
