BIRTH WEIGHT AND GESTATION TIME IN RELATION TO MATERNAL AGE, PARITY AND INFANT SURVIVAL
Abstract
The articles published by the Annals of Eugenics (1925–1954) have been made available online as an historical archive intended for scholarly use. The work of eugenicists was often pervaded by prejudice against racial, ethnic and disabled groups. The online publication of this material for scholarly research purposes is not an endorsement of those views nor a promotion of eugenics in any way.

“Consistent with this hypothesis, average birthweight increases with parity (Karn and Penrose, 1951; Camilleri and Cremona, 1970), and pathologists can tell whether a woman has ever given birth by observing changes to the walls of uterine vessels (Pankow, 1906).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
