Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:The study has been carried out through anthropometric measures of Bahian newborns, to define measures according with the reality of this region. METHOD:Study type transversal cut in term babies with the measures of cephalic perimeter, biauricular and anteroposterior distances, fontanel and cephalic index. RESULTS:388 babies, 204 (52.6%) of males and 184 (47.4%) females had been evaluated. The cephalic perimeter varied between 31.0 and 38.0 cm, with 34.4 +/- 1.2 average. The cephalic index varied between 0.75 and 1.06, with 0.91 +/- 0.05 average. CONCLUSION:The anthropometric measures are surveyed aiming at precocious detention of anomalies. Possibly, these measures can be influenced by racial factors; however, the measures carried through in Brazil follow values of foreign authors. Thus, the study shows data of a Northeastern region and points out the importance of the accomplishment of multicentric studies.
