Key Points

The research aims to determine whether foot length can serve as an indicator of penile length in human fetuses.
Observed relationships between foot length and penile length during the 2nd trimester
Analyzed data from human fetuses with neural tube defects
Conducted statistical correlation assessments
Significant positive correlation between penile length and foot length
Foot size may be a reliable indicator of fetal penis size

Implication

Observational study links fetal penile size to foot length, suggesting a growth indicator.

Abstract

Penile length increased significantly and positively when correlated with foot length during the 2nd trimester of gestational development. We can suggest that foot size can be considered an indicator of penis size in human fetuses.
