Abstract:
Objective To obtain the length-chest circumference index of normal term newborns in different gestational age. Methods By cross-sectional time cluster sampling fact-ifnding investigation method, the anthropometric data on 16388 newborns from 2013 to 2015 were measured, including birth weight, length, crown-rump length, head circumference, and chest circumference, to develop normal full-term infants height chest circumference index (BCI) in different gestational age. Results Anthropometric data of 13776 normal term infants were available at the end of the study. The BCI, Ververck Index (VI), Elisma index (EI) were increasing with the gestational age at newborn. BCI, VI, EI in male is less than those of female with signiifcant difference (P<0.05). There were some differences of newborn’s BCI, VI and EI in 2015 than those in 2005. Conclusion Com-pared to ten years ago, chest fullness increased with gestational age at different gestational ages in normal full-term infants, and the chest fullness in male is less than that in female.
