Head Circumference (HC): The child assumes a
relaxed standing position with the arms hanging
by the sides and the head in the Frankfurt plan.
The measure is taken perpendicularly to the
head longitudinal axis, in the horizontal plan,
immediately over the glabella (mid-point
between the brow ridges) (Fig. 2).
Biparietal Breadth (BB): The child assumes a
relaxed standing position with the arms hanging
by the sides and the head in the Frankfurt plan.
The measure is taken perpendicularly to the
head longitudinal axis, between the most lateral
portions of parietal bones (Fig. 2).
Anterior-Posterior Chest Breadth (APCB): The
child assumes a relaxed standing position, with
the arms hanging by the sides. The measure is
taken at end-tidal expiration and obtained
between mesoesternale point (point located on
the corpus sterni at the level of articulation of
the 4 th chondrosternal articulation) and the
spinous process of the vertebra located at the
same level on a plan parallel to the floor, and
