Abstract
Anthropometric measurements at birth reflect the characteristics of fetal development and largely determine the harmonious development in the later years of the child’s life. A total of physical development charts were studied in newborn infants (904 girls and 928 boys) born at 22 to 36 weeks’ gestation over 2009–2013. Indicators, such as weight, height, head circumference, chest circumference, and weight/height ratio (Quetelet index), were determined. The findings were used to compile sigma tables and physical development charts for premature babies born in the city of Voronezh and its region. The given illustrative graphs are of great importance for assessing the health status of children at birth and in subsequent years. The physical development charts can be used not only by physicians, but also by parents, teachers, and social workers.
