The authors examined the height of 6335 Hungarian
18 years old young men, whose intrauterine weight and
length development was known after birth. They have
used a new diagnostic method, so called MDN (Maturity,
Development and Nutritional status) system which
is suitable to determine the body development and
nutritional status of a neonate on the basis of its gestational
age, length and weight development considered
simultaneously (Berkő P., Joubert K. J Maternal Fetal
Neonatal Med, 2009; 22/7, pp.552).
