Search and evaluation of alternative indices or other simple indicators of growth restriction might also contribute to a more accurate identification of IUGR babies.
On the other hand, estimation of fetal weight through ultrasonography [ 31, 49] needs to be improved [ 50, 51] and diagnostic methods for identifying fetal growth restriction have tended to rely on other indicators of growth restriction besides estimated fetal weight.
Delany et al. [80] reported that recN is Fur-regulated, but it should be noted that in this study the change was opposite to that of the rest of the indicators of iron restriction / Fur activity previously reported, indicating specific and additional regulation.

Ponderal index has been used by clinicians and epidemiologists as a measure of thinness at birth and an indicator of disproportionate or asymmetric growth restriction.
Flexion restriction may be an indicator of increased joint loading, and identifying the cause may help to guide preventive and therapeutic interventions.
