Abstract
In children seen longitudinally at 26 and 33 months, contrary to earlier findings, minor physical anomalies are found to be positively related to some measures of activity level in girls but unrelated to activity level in boys. No relationship was found between inhibited social behavior and anomaly score for boys or girls. There was a suggestion of a positive relationship between anomaly score and aggression-assertive behavior at 33 months in girls and a negative relationship in boys.Keywords
