Fetal nutrition and peripheral nerve conduction velocity

Richard O. Robinson, M.D. and William C. Robertson, Jr., M.D.

From the University of Kentucky Medical School, Department of Neurology, Lexington, KY.

Fetal nutrition as assessed by skin-fold thickness was correlated with nerve conduction in 27 babies of 39 to 41 weeks' gestation. There was correlation between skin-fold thickness and conduction velocity, suggesting that fetal nutrition may alter peripheral nerve function by influencing myelination.

Accepted for publication June 2, 1980.
