- Abstract
The article presents a study which investigates the importance of prenatal sonographic parameters and birth weight in predicting the body composition of infants. It says that birth weight is one of the most important postnatal predictor of the outcome of pregnancy as it quantifies the fetal fat deposition. Prenatal ultrasonography is also considered as equaly important as it evaluates soft tissue, and can detect the early manifestation of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
