Abstract
A sample of 273 newborns was measured anthropometrically during the first 24 hours after birth. Males were found to be bigger in weight, crown-heel and crown-rump length and head circumference than females. Sex differences of head circumference were of the highest significance. The ratio between triceps subcutaneous fat and weight indicated a higher fat content in females. Correlation coefficients between the measurements were higher in males than in females.
