The mean weight-for-length z-score went from −1.1±1.2 to −0.8±0.9; the mean length-for-age z-score from 0.2±0.9 to 0.2±1.0 and the mean Body Mass Index for age z-score from −1.1±1.2 to −0.8±0.9.
However, the mean weight-for-length Z-score was -0.28, which suggests that on average infants were thinner than the WHO standard.
Mean values for length are very similar for the two series, while the mean birth weight and BMI at birth increased by 3% from 1977 1981 to 1991 1999.
The mean value for length, width and thickness of bambara seeds ranged from 11.01 to 11.81 mm; 9.41 to 9.96 mm and thickness 9.05 to 9.48 mm, respectively.
For 940 observations of length among 354 infants, the mean length for age Z-score was −0.91 (SD 1.6) and for 931 observations of concurrent weight and length, the mean weight for length Z-score was −0.21 (SD 1.4).
The outcomes were pooled statistically using the event rates calculated for postoperative complications and recurrence rates and the standard mean difference for length of hospital stay.
Species' means for standard length and intestinal length were log10 transformed to homogenise variance prior to analysis and to increase data independence.
No difference in the mean z-score for length was found between groups at 5 months.
The mean z-score for length in SGA infants was significantly lower from term to the third month when compared to AGA (GR+) and (GR−) infants (table 2).
We statistically analyzed the resulting data in Minitab (v. 14.0) for mean repeat length for each repeat motif category.
