Abstract

Means and centile distributions of weight‐for‐age, height‐for‐age, weight‐for‐height and arm circumference‐for‐age amongst under‐fives of both sexes in Kasongo, Zaire, are presented. More than 32,000 measurements of each of the three parameters were obtained in a semi‐longitudinal study. These data are compared with reference values and data from other African Countries.
