Mid-arm circumference and mid-arm/head circumference ratio in term newborns.
CONTEXT Mid-arm circumference of the newborn is strongly associated with birth weight and is a very good indicator of low and insufficient birth weight. However, there are few Brazilian studies on the relationship between mid-arm and head circumferences and, thus, this does not form part of the routine evaluation for newborns. OBJECTIVES To establish the mid-arm circumference and mid-arm/head...
متن کاملPrediction Equations for Body-fat Percentage in Indian Infants and Young Children Using Skinfold Thickness and Mid-arm Circumference
The objective of the study was to develop prediction equations for fat-mass percentage in infants in India based on skinfold thickness, mid-arm circumference, and age. Skinfold thicknesses and mid-arm circumference of 46 apparently-healthy infants (27 girls and 19 boys), aged 6-24 months, from among the urban poor attending a well baby clinic of a hospital in Kolkata were measured. Their body-f...
متن کاملReliability of Mid-Upper Arm Circumference Measurements taken by Community Health Nurses
Mid upper arm circumference-based diagnosis of severe acute malnutrition is seen as very attractive because it is assumed to be simple to use in measuring the arm and also requires a single cut-off without having to compute an index or compare to a reference population. The circumference of the left upper arm measured at the mid-point between the tip of the shoulder and the tip of the elbow is ...
متن کاملrelation between mid-arm circumference and weight (1994).
the present survey is a correlation study designed to determine extent and type of relation between mid-arm circumference and weight in order to offer a scale for assumption of weight. 390 healthy, adults who are resident in tehran and between the ages 18-65 were selected from visitors at three hospital censers at random. input accumulation was carried out by means of a questionnaire and ...
متن کاملScreening for intrauterine growth retardation using ratio of mid-arm circumference to occipitofrontal circumference.
Uncritical application of standard weight percentile charts, derived from white infants, to infants from different ethnic groups may result in an overestimate of the incidence of intrauterine growth retardation in those groups. The ratio of mid-arm circumference to occipitofrontal circumference was studied in 194 babies (49 Asian, 58 black, and 87 white). In contrast with birth weight the ratio...
