Abstract
175 freshly aborted fetuses (including three pairs of twins), 12-26 weeks postmenstrual age and products of induced expulsion from 172 Kashmiri women, were observed for 12 anthropometric measurements, namely, crown-heel length, crown-rump length, trunk height, head length, head circumference upper-arm length, fore-arm length, hand length, thigh length, leg length, foot length and weight. The general pattern of age changes in various body dimensions conforms to the sigmoid nature of human fetal growth. Comparison of the present findings with those from other studies reveal no definite population trends. The mean values for various anthropometric variables of Kashmiri fetuses lie within the overall range of observations made by various authors.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
