The INTERGROWTH-21st Project has produced a comprehensive set of international standards for monitoring growth and development from early pregnancy to the age of 2 years old based on a landmark study showing that, when constraints on these parameters are minimal, all humans grow and develop similarly, irrespective of the colour of their skin or where they live. The International Fetal and Newborn Growth Consortium for the 21st Century, or INTERGROWTH-21st, is a global, multidisciplinary network of more than 300 researchers and clinicians from 27 institutions in 18 countries worldwide and coordinated from the University of Oxford. It is dedicated to improving perinatal health globally and committed to reducing the millions of preventable newborn deaths that occur as a result of preterm birth or poor intrauterine growth.
