Background: Neonates from low and middle income countries (LAMIC) tend to have lower birth weight compared with Western European (WE) neonates. Parental height, BMI and maternal parity, age and educational level often differ according to ethnic background, and are associated with offspring birth weight. Less is known about how these factors affect ethnic differences in neonatal body composition. Objectives: To explore differences in neonatal body composition in a multi-ethnic population, and the impact of key parental factors on these differences. Methods: A population-based cohort study of pregnant mothers, fathers and their offspring, living in Oslo, Norway. Gender-and gestational-specific z-scores were calculated for several anthropometr...
