Resumos

Dos 9048 recém-nascidos vivos, que representam 98% do universo de nascimentos em Ribeirão Preto, Brasil, no período de 1 de junho de 1978 a 31 de maio de 1979, foi estudado o perímetro craniano de 4554 crianças, traçando-se as curvas de distribuição para ambos os sexos e para cada sexo separadamente. Foi demonstrado que a variável apresentou distribuição normal, sendo estabelecidos os 'limites de normalidade' para sua aplicação prática.

A sample of 4554 of newborn was used to study the distribution of the head circumference measure shortly after birth. The sample is part of the cohort born in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, from June 1st. 1978 to May 31st. 1979. It was possible to show that such measure follows a normal distribution for both sex (either separately or together) and to calculate 'normality limits' for practical use.
