“…We calculated birth weight and length Z-score by using reference standards described for the Spanish population according to sex and gestational age. 17 We also computed the ponderal index as kg m -3 . Maternal weight gain was calculated as body weight before delivery minus body weight before pregnancy.…”

“…Females are shorter and weigh less than males at birth and throughout infancy but have more fat mass and less lean body mass than males, even in the neonatal period. [29][30][31] In 11-to 12-year olds the prevalence of overweight was higher in girls. 32,33 In Shantal children between 5 and 12 years old, fat patterning was different between girls and boys.…”

It was calculated with the use of appropriate reference standards previously described for this population, according to sex and gestational age (19). Gestational age was coded as 1 (from 35 to 40 wk of gestation) or 2 (Ͼ40 wk of gestation).…”
