Abstract
Intrauterine growth (weight, length, head circumference, Ponderal index) was studied in 2875 consecutive live born babies. Weight, length and head circumference growth curves did not show any significant difference when compared to previous growth curves made 20 years back from this centre. Norms and curves for ponderal index are provided for the Indian babies and were comparable with figures from Western studies. However, the 90th centile values were found to be low between 32-38 weeks of gestation.
