Abstract

Surveying 2741 children (boys 1416, girls 1325) in Chonnam Area, Korea anthropometrically with mixed longitudinal method from 1973 to 1976 showed that weights of children were closer to the Korean Standards than heights of them. Hematological examinations to 1303 children(boys 640, girls 663) including hemoglobin, hematocrit and total serum protein revealed lower limits of normal values respectively. Percentiles charts ofr heights and weights in school children of both sexes were illustrated.
