Abstract excerpt

Using the data of the 1985 GDR somatogram standards (birthweight percentiles calculated from 51,570 liveborn singletons) the impact of parental weight and length on the birthweight were calculated. Peristatic factors in combination with the genetic 'anlage' act first of all via maternal weight. Body height and/or length of mother and father are more representative for the genetic constitution. Their impact on...
