ABSTRACT
Weight, length, and skinfold thicknesses were measured in 4634 term and preterm neonates. Sex and weight/length ratio were important determinants of the amount and distribution of the subcutaneous fat store at birth. Gestational age, weight, length, and other ponderal indices did not explain subcutaneous fat variability.
Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CTS, central to total skinfold ratio; PI, ponderal index; ST, skinfold thickness; W/L, weight/length ratio
Keywords: skinfold thicknesses; fat mass; body fat distribution; weight; length
