    Anthropometric measurements of Sri Lankan newborns
    (University of Colombo. Colombo, 1998) Nanayakkara, D.
    A study was conducted with the aim of establishing the mean birth weight, crown heel length and head circumference for Sri Lankan newborns. A total of 1325 normal, singleton babies (993 sinhalese and 332 moor) with ultrasonically confirmed period of gestation, born at the Maternity unit of the Base hospital Kegalle, were selected. Means and standard deviations for the above measurements of the sinhalese and moor babies were established. Since the number of babies were established. Since the number of babies belonging to the Tamil ethnic group was small for statistical analysis. they were excluded from the study. For all three measurements, the mean values of male newborns were higher than those of the female newborns. when compared with the sinhalese the moor, males and females had highly significant higher values for birth weight crown heel length and head circumfereence (P0.001) simple linear regression analyses were carried out between the baby's weight age and parity. A significant relationship was observed between the baby's weight and mothers weight.

    1128 Sri Lankan moor children (327 boys and 801 girls) from four Islamic Schools in Kandy and Gampola were studied. The boy mass index (MBI) of the girls at all ages were higher than the BMI of the boys. The boys reach a plateau at 15 years and the girls at 14 years. The Sri Lankan moor children showed similar BMI values to those of sinhalese children of Kadawatha schools but their gender difference was similar to that of the affluent sinhalese children.

    (The Sri Lanka Medical Association. Colombo, 1994) Wikramanayake, E.R.; Wickramanayake, T.W.; Chandrasekera, M.S.
    BMI was calculated from the heights and weights of 37 Veddas (18 males and 19 females) measured in 1971/73 when they were living at Kandeganvila, and of 247 veddas (109 males and 138 females) measured in 1993/94 at Hennanigala South of Mahaweli System 'C', ten years after their change of habitat. Significantly lower BMI's (p0.05) was observed in the preadolescent children, bth males and females, in 1993/94. In general in the adults too a trend towards lower BMI's judged by BMI, of the relocation of the Kandeganvila veddas has been detrimental.
