title: [The anthropometric indices of newborn infants in the Kryvyy Rih industrial region].
abstract: A study was made of anthropometric measures (body mass, length of the body, circumference of the head, circumference of the chest) in infants borne to women in separate primi-, secundi-, or multipara events in those areas of the Krivoy Rog industrial region arbitrarily taken as relatively pure (unpolluted) and those affected by radioactive contamination, with ages of the child-bearing women being 18-25, 26-30, and greater than 30 years old. Newborn babies from the contaminated district of the city were found to have higher anthropometric values. There was a persistent augmentation of the circumference of the chest in newborns from the contaminated district, which fact suggests development of adaptive processes in the fetus during the intrauterine development under conditions of contaminated atmosphere of the industrial region.
