Abstract
The ratio of the height of L1 to body length progressively increased between 26 to 41 weeks. A growth spurt in L1 was noted for both sexes at 34 weeks of GA. Long bone growth was similar in male and female infants born before 36 weeks. However, the ratio of femur to body length in males increased after 36 weeks. The ratio of humerus to body length remained constant over the entire range of GA.
