Skinfold Thickness Measurement in Term Nigerian Neonates: Establishing Reference Values
Skin fold thickness (SFT) measurement is a reliable, cheap, simple, noninvasive method of body fat estimation at all ages including the neonatal period. Objective. To determine reference values of biceps, triceps, subscapular, and suprailiac skinfold thickness measurements in term Nigerian newborns. Method. A prospective cross-sectional study over a six-month period (Dec 2010-May 2011) was carr...
متن کاملNeonatal skinfold thickness. Measurement and interpretation at or near term.
Skinfold thickness was measured at five sites in 750 infants. The study population was unselected except that twin pregnancies and the infants of diabetic mothers were excluded, and very preterm infants were under represented. A pilot study had indicated that skinfold measurement was most reproducible at the thigh site. Thigh skinfold correlated better with the sum of other skinfolds than did s...
متن کاملOscillometric blood pressure reference values of African full-term neonates in their first days postpartum
BACKGROUND Knowing the normative blood pressure (BP) in a newborn baby is important in order to identify abnormal BP readings. This study was done to determine normative BP values of Nigerian newborns, using the 8100 Dinamap monitor. METHODS Consecutive full-term neonates delivered in a tertiary centre in Nigeria were recruited for the study. The babies' systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP) and me...
متن کاملDetermination of Hematologic Reference Values of Neonates in Mashhad - Iran
The results of laboratory tests have little practical utility unless clinical studies have ascribed various states of health and disease to intervals of values. Several factors affect hematologic values, including race, environment, time of sampling, test method, blood collection site, gestational age and maternal factors. Since these factors vary in various populations, they can cause differen...
متن کاملBody fat in neonates and young infants: validation of skinfold thickness versus dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry1–3
Background: There is an interest in noninvasive measurement of body fat in newborns and infants. Measurement of skinfold thickness (SFT) is a simple clinical method. Objective: We correlated fat mass (FM) values of neonates and infants predicted from SFT measurements and compared them with FM values measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), a validated in vivo method for determining b...
