The health of a population is most accurately reflected in the rate
of growth of its children. It is this theme which underlies the
analysis and presentation of what is by far the largest compilation
of growth data ever assembled. The first edition, published in
1976, included all known reliable recent results on height, weight,
skinfolds and other body measurements from all parts of the globe.
In this edition, the very numerous measurements taken between 1976
and 1988 have been included as well as the results of the large
number of new studies made on rate of maturation as evinced by bone
age and pubertal development stages. Many sections of the book
dwell on disentangling the effects of the environment and heredity
on growth, and thus answer the question of whether one universal
standard suffices for all peoples of the world, or whether
different populations (such as races or nations) should each have
their own optimal growth standards. Written by practical people
with experience of the problems in developing countries, this book
explains in simple terms the different sorts of growth surveys, how
to set about making them, and which sort to choose. All who are
professionally concerned with child health should read it.
