Intergenerational effects of in utero exposure to Ramadan in Tunisia
Objectives
The velocity of fetal growth is associated with the breadth of the placental surface, but not with the length
OBJECTIVES: Studies of the placenta in pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia have led to the suggestion that tissue along the length and breadth of its surface has different functions. A recent study in Saudi Arabia showed that the body size of newborn babies was related to the breadth of the surface at birth but not to its length. We have now examined whether the association between placental breadth and body size reflects large size of the b…
Sex Differences in birth size and intergenerational effects of intrauterine exposure to Ramadan in Saudi Arabia
OBJECTIVES: In Europe, boys and girls have different body proportions at birth. We examined newborn babies in Saudi Arabia to determine the sex differences and whether fetal growth differed if the mother was in utero during Ramadan. METHODS: We examined body size at birth among 967 babies (479 boys and 488 girls) born in Unizah, a small city in Saudi Arabia. RESULTS: Large head circumference was the strongest single predictor of male sex. In a si…
