“…Therefore, risk factors that may lead to abnormal fetal growth, including maternal comorbidities during pregnancy, should be excluded when establishing a birth growth curve ( 7 ). Villamonte-Calanche et al ( 22 , 23 ) found a neonatal growth curve at 3,400 m in Peru, similar to that of the international standard, unlike our results. However, their study ignored factors, including residence altitude or pregnancy comorbidities.…”

BackgroundSince the current commonly used birth growth curves are unsuitable for neonates in high-altitude areas; this study aimed to establish birth growth curves for full-term neonates residing at 2,000–3,000 m.MethodsThis cross-sectional study retrospectively analyzed the physical measurement data of 1,546 full-term neonates delivered at the Red Cross Hospital of Qinghai province, China, from July 2021 to April 2022. The percentile curves of birth weight, length, and head circumference of neonates of different gestational ages and genders were developed using curve fitting. The newly developed birth-weight percentile reference was compared with the INTERGROWTH-21st Neonatal Growth Curve (International Standard) and the Chinese Neonate Growth Curve (Chinese Standard).ResultsThe median birth weight, length, and head circumference of the study population were 3,200 g, 52.0 cm, and 32.8 cm, respectively, except for the group with a gestational age of 37 weeks. The growth indicators of male infants in all groups were higher than those of the female infants (P < 0.05). We found differences between the newly developed birth-weight percentile curves in the high-altitude areas and the International and Chinese Standards.ConclusionEstablishing birth growth curves corresponding to altitude may be more suitable than the existing standards for local medical staff to conduct health assessments of neonates.

“…12 Existen pocos países que presenten un gradiente altitudinal como los ubicados sobre la cordillera de los Andes. Los antecedentes más abundantes que analizan la variación del PN en relación con la altura corresponden a Perú y a Bolivia; [13][14][15][16][17][18] los trabajos que analizan el tamaño al nacer en estos ambientes extremos son escasos.…”

Introducción. El feto que no alcanza el potencial de crecimiento esperado en el útero se considera pequeño para la edad gestacional (PEG). Esta restricción depende de factores genéticos y/o ambientales; la altura geográfica es uno muy relevante. Este trabajo analiza la distribución espacial de las prevalencias de PEG y su tendencia secular en Jujuy . Materiales y métodos.Se analizaron los registros de 308 469 nacidos vivos de Jujuy (Dirección de Estadísticas e Información de Salud). Se estimaron prevalencias de PEG (peso/edad gestacional

Anthropometric reference curves for term neonates born at 3400 meters above sea level

Abstract: Reference curves were developed for the 3rd, 10th, 50th, 90th, and 97th percentile for weight, height, head circumference (HC), ponderal index (PI), and HCBWI for term newborns according to sex born at 3400 m above sea level.
