Abstract
The influence of socioeconomic factors on fetal growth seems evident. Nevertheless, it is difficult to assume that the observed differences must be exclusively due to the population characteristics or the different methodologies in the selection of the sample. Thus, it is desirable to have anthropometric reference curves obtained from populations of surrounding areas, with epidemiological methodologies that might be more appropriate in identifying valid outcome predictors, and enable us to compare with others groups according to racial, socioeconomic and disease factors.
