Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
We expect to find a difference in weight/length ratio at birth on Brazilian babies compared to the reference curve. Weight and length will be verified by direct measurement at birth, with comparison with the reference curve from Intergrowth 21st

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
We expect to find a difference in body mass index (weight/lengthˆ2) at birth compared to a reference curve.. Weight and length will be verified by direct measurement at birth, with comparison with the reference curve from Intergrowth 21st We expect to find a difference in ponderal index (weight/lengthˆ3) at birth compared to a reference curve. Weight and length will be verified by direct measurement at birth, with comparison with the reference curve from Intergrowth 21st
