 Why in news

  • Researchers developed a model to predict newborn birth weight using routine pregnancy scans.

  • The project involved researchers from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Seethapathy Clinic and Hospital, Chennai and IISER Pune.

  • The model can reduce reliance on late-term ultrasounds, making birth weight prediction more accessible.

  • Researchers applied the Gompertz model to predict birth weight by analyzing data from routine scans of pregnant women

Gompertz model 

  • Developed in the 19th century by mathematician Benjamin Gompertz

  • It was originally designed to model population growth in a constrained environment, such as a specific geographic region.

  • The model uses an S-shaped (sigmoid) curve to represent growth patterns that start slowly, accelerate, and then slow again as they approach a plateau.

Applications:

  • Biology: The Gompertz Model is used to study tumor growth and cell population dynamics, reflecting constrained growth in biological systems.

  • Epidemiology: Applied in predicting the spread of infectious diseases like COVID-19, capturing how transmission rates slow with interventions.

  • Ecology: Useful for modelling species population growth in habitats with limited resources, aiding conservation and ecosystem management.

  • Healthcare: To predict foetal birth weight, helping identify potential risks associated with low or high birth weight.

  • Aging Research: Employed to analyze mortality rates and lifespan patterns, contributing to studies on aging and longevity.
