Infant Birth Weight and Nutrition in Industrializing Montreal
|
| Abstract |
The birth weights examined by the authors in this study were recorded at the University Lying-In Hospital in Montreal between 1851 and 1905. The Lying-in Hospital was founded in 1843 by members of McGill University's Medical Faculty and by English-speaking Montreal female philanthropists. The hospital drew its patients almost entirely from among the poor in English-speaking Montreal. The authors found that the mean weight of children born in the hospital after 1873 began to decline.
