ABSTRACT

Introduction. Objective: To determine the growth intrauterine curves at the sea level.
Material and methods. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study performed in 1 626 newborns in Veracruz, Mexico. A somatometric evaluation was achieved in relation to gestational age and sex.
Results. The largest frequency group was from 38 to 40 gestation weeks (65%), and the fewer frequency group was from 41 to 43 weeks (9%). Half of them were male. No significant difference (P ›0.05) was found between both sexes in accordance to weight, size, and cephalic perimeter. Results were presented by percentile graphics and average value boards with means of dispersion.
Conclusion. The intrauterine growth curves at the sea level behave differently from reference standards used in our hospital, which justifies the elaboration and use of local reference standards.
