Comparison of body proportions of one-year-old Mexican-American and Anglo children.

L Kautz and G G Harrison

The body proportions of 95 Anglo and Mexican-American children aged 48-56 weeks in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Special Supplemental Food Program were determined by use of multiple anthropometric measurements. Ethnic differences were several and collectively define the Mexican-American child as being greater in weight-for-length than the Anglo child with greater chest and thigh circumferences, subscapular skinfolds, and estimated body fat.
