title: [Norms for determination of the physical development of the newborn Bulgarian children in the town of Plovdiv].
abstract: In the compound complex of factors, influencing the physical development, a significant role plays the ethnical belonging. The aim of the study is to work out norms for assessment of the physical development of the newborn Bulgarian children. In the period 01.01-01.12.2008 the primary information for the physical development of the newborn 789 children was registered at the Obstetric-Gynecological Clinic of Medical University-Plovdiv. One of the most precise methods for individual assessment--the Method of the percentiles was used. The extent of the excerpt gives a reason to consider that the norms for assessment of height, weight, head and chest measurement of the newborn children with Bulgarian origin are stable and statistically reliable and can be used by the obstetricians and micropediatricians for assessment of the physical development of the children in the next 8-10 years.
