To Ponder Ponderal's Length: A Question to Lester et. al.
Scanlon, John W.
Child Development, v55 n2 p669-71 Apr 1984
Criticizes Lester, Als, and Brazelton's 1982 reanalysis of data presented by Scanlon, Nelson, Grylack, and Smith in 1979. Discusses (1) clinical interpretation of the ponderal index (a weight-for-length ratio); and (2) inaccurate measurement of crown-heel length; (3) Lester et al.'s suggested relationship between the ponderal index, maternal drug, and neonatal behavior.
