Growth of the fetal biparietal diameter in urban cape coloured families

Ultrasonic measurements of biparietal diameter (BPD) between the 12th week of menstrual age (MA) and delivery were taken longitudinally on a group of 98 Cape Coloured employees of Groote Schuur Hospital. The socio-economic situation of subjects was above average for the community; this was reflected...

Zusammenfassung:	Ultrasonic measurements of biparietal diameter (BPD) between the 12th week of menstrual age (MA) and delivery were taken longitudinally on a group of 98 Cape Coloured employees of Groote Schuur Hospital. The socio-economic situation of subjects was above average for the community; this was reflected in their larger body size and the increased birth weight of observed fetuses. A growth chart showing MA as a function of BPD has been constructed for clinical use. This chart can be regarded as representing a 'norm' closer to the ideal than to the average in the population.
