Our results showed that the mean birthweight and the proportion of infants with high birthweight significantly increased during 2010-2019 in the Faroe Islands. The mean birthweight, the proportion of infants with high birthweight and the gestational age at birth for Faroese infants was higher than all other Nordic countries. The reasons for this require further investigation.
