Data extracted from hospital records were MH; number of previous births; and infant's sex, BW, and gestational length. MH was divided into 4 categories at quartile points: Q1:129\u2010147, Q2:148\u2010151, Q3:152\u2010155, and Q4:156\u2010180 cm. BW data were transformed to z\u2010score values using the WHO Child Growth Standard. The association between MH and infants' BW was analyzed through a multiple regression model in which gestational length, infant's sex, maternal age, ethnicity, and number of previous birth were included as covariates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Mean values of MH and infants' BW were 151.43 cm (SD = 6.32) and 3172 g (SD = 401) (corresponding to \u22120.29 SD in BW z\u2010score), respectively. The regression model showed that the shortest quartile of MH was associated with \u22120.43 (95% CI \u22120.35 \u22120.51) SD in infants' BW compared with the highest quartile. The second and third shortest quartiles of MH were associated with \u22120.24 (95% CI \u22120.16 \u22120.32) and \u22120.17 (95% CI \u22120.09 \u22120.25) SD of infants BW, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>MH remains an important factor for infant BW even in the presence of other determinants. The influence of MH on infants' BW in this population is similar to that found in other populations in low\u2010, middle\u2010, and high\u2010income countries.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajhb.23162","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,25]],"date-time":"2018-09-25T03:53:52Z","timestamp":1537847632000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The influence of maternal height on offspring's birth weight in Merida, Mexico"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Hugo","family":"Azcorra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Human Ecology Department Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional  M\u00e9rida Yucat\u00e1n Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nina","family":"Mendez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Universidad Marista de M\u00e9rida  M\u00e9rida Yucat\u00e1n Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpeds.2013.02.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajhb.22614"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajhb.22427"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajhb.22806"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2016-3827"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0378-3782(99)00064-X"},{"volume-title":"Una deuda hist\u00f3rica.
