Abstract
To test the hypothesis that early linear growth is independent of changes in weight we undertook took simple anthropometry in 45 term infants daily to day 7 after birth. Linear growth proceeded rapidly and independently of changes in weight variations from the first day after birth; we suggest that this implies 'programmed' continuity of skeletal growth, possibly fuelled at the expense of other body tissues.Entities:
