Wymiary cia ła noworodków urodzonych na Mazowszu w jednym ośrodku w latach 2011–2015

Conclusions (1) The mean BW value in the study cohort was similar to that observed in Poland over the past several decades. (2) The mean birth length of a Masovian cohort cannot be compared against the standards set by the WHO because of the differences in the measurement methods. Birth length measurements should be based on the principles of anthropology and the use of a measuring tape should be discontinued. (3) The BHC value in the Masovian cohort did not differ from the standards set by the WHO or the standards published in Poland. A tendency for the BHC to increase with a simultaneous decrease in the BL has been observed however, it requires further studies.
