title: Standards of skinfold thickness and anthropometric indices in term Israeli newborn infants.
abstract: Anthropometric measurements including weight, length, head and mid-arm circumferences, skinfold thickness (biceps, triceps, subscapular, abdominal, suprailiac and quadriceps) were obtained from 250 singleton, full-term infants within 4 h of birth. Anthropometric indices for total body fat stores such as arm fat and nonfat areas, adiposity and ponderal indices, and weight/length ratio were calculated. These data may be helpful in determining nutritional status at birth and assessing postnatal growth of Israeli infants.
