Abstract

The focus of this study is the analysis of biometric data related to the effects of the foetal growth based on the social status of vegetarian and non-vegetarian patients referred to clinicians. We have analyzed multiple biometric parameters such as age, socio-economic status, last menstrual period, and their associated biometric data. Out of thirty random patients, twelve patients were selected for investigation. Our results indicate that the growth rate of vegetarians is 56 grams/week, while for non-vegetarians it is 36 grams/week at the second and third trimester of the middle class patients.
