Monitoring growth is an integral part of antenatal and newborn care worldwide, yet appropriate standards for fetal growth, newborn size, and the postnatal growth of preterm infants are not commonly used in clinical practice, nor is there adequate classification of infants born preterm and/or small for gestational age. The International Fetal and Newborn Growth Consortium for the 21st Century (INTERGROWTH-21st) Project has produced an integrated set of international standards for evaluating growth and development from early pregnancy to 2 years of age based on studying healthy, well-nourished and educated women from 8 urban areas across 5 continents. This lecture will present data from the INTERGROWTH-21st Project and how the research has altered our overall understanding of early human growth and development.
