Abstract
This paper has two aims. One is to evaluate, in a set of 9740 ‘reference’ neonates born in five Italian centres (Trieste, Milan, Parma, Rome, Bari) during 1973‐1976 the effects of gestational age and birthplace on the variability of crown‐heel length and head circumference at birth; this is a preliminary step in the construction of ‘Italian’ intrauterine growth standards for such anthropometric measures. The other aim is to put the various techniques for the analysis of variability into a common framework of Linear Models, either Generalized or Classical, to compare their main features and provide some indications about their application.Keywords
