Maternal height, pregnancy weight gain, and birthweight

Article Abstract:

Research is presented on the relationship between pregnancy weight gain and infant birthweight being modified due to the mother's height. Based on an examination of uncomplicated, single baby births at the University of California, San Francisco, between 1980-1990, there is an apparently significant and positive relationship between increased height of the mother and weight of the baby among whites, Asians and blacks, but not among Hispanics.
