ANTHROPOMETRIC INDICATORS TERM NEWBORN REPUBLIC OF CRIMEA
Abstract
The study aims – to determine the values of the main anthropometric indicators of physical development (body weight, body length, head circumference, chest circumference) of full-term newborn children of the Republic of Crimea. To establish the presence or absence of significant differences between the anthropometric characteristics of full-term newborns of the Republic of Crimea, depending on gender. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of Simferopol Clinical Maternity Hospital N 1. A retrospective analysis of medical documentation was carried out: 1300 «Histories of childbirth» (form N 096/y), newborns whose mothers permanently reside in the Republic of Crimea. Results. A study of the main anthropometric indicators of physical development (body weight, body length, head circumference, chest circumference) of full-term newborn children of the Republic of Crimea was carried out. It was found that the average body weight of the boys was 3523.62 ± 426.86 g and was significantly higher (p < 0.001) than the average body weight of girls, which was 3368.73 ± 417.99 g. The average body length of the boys was 51.54 ± 1.82 cm and was significantly greater (p < 0.001) than the average body length of girls, which was 50.85 ± 1.80 cm. The average head circumference of the boys was 35.35 ± 1.21 cm and was significantly greater (p < 0.001) than the average head circumference of girls, which was 34.72 ± 1.22 cm. The average chest circumference of the boys was 34.49 ± 1.55 cm and was significantly larger (p < 0.001) than the average chest circumference of girls, which was 33.98 ± 1.55 cm. Conclusion. The results obtained made it possible to determine the indicators of the main anthropometric characteristics of physical development (body weight, body length, head circumference, chest circumference) of full-term newborn children of the Republic of Crimea and confirm the need to assess the physical development of newborns depending on gender.
