For each year within the 1991–2001 birth cohort, annual birthweight percentiles were calculated and used to determine birthweight appropriateness for children born within that year. The analysis included children who survived to 1 year of age. Gestational age refers to completed gestational age at birth (23w1d = 23 weeks).
