Summary
An ultrasound study of fetal growth patterns in women of Indian origin showed that the mean abdominal circumference measurements throughout pregnancy were significantly smaller than measurements obtained in white European patients. The mean birth weight of the Indian, babies was 340 g less than that of the controls and Indian patients also exhibited a significantly shorter duration of gestation. There was no significant difference between the biparietal diameter measurements of European and Indian women throughout pregnancy.
