Normal anthropometric standards are presented for new-born Caucasian infants at sea level between 25 and 44 weeks' gestational age. These standards are based upon measurements in 7 dimensions made in duplicate by a single observer using standard measurement techniques. Normal smooth curves are drawn of the mean±2 standard deviations (approximately ninety-seven and third percentiles) for birthweight, crown-heel length, head circumference, and chest circumference against gestational age; of head circumference, head-chest circumference difference, and crown-heel length against birthweight; and of head circumference against crown-heel length.
