Abstract

Normal values (means +/- s and percentiles) for body height and weight and a somatogram for children from the newborn period up to 3 years determined in 306 children (164 boys and 142 girls) are presented. Beyond the first year of life the children are slightly taller and have a reduced height related body weight in comparison to older standards.
