Abstract
The results of a mixed cross-sectional and longitudinal anthropometric survey of Sudanese children up to the age of 16 yr are reported. Weight velocity, height velocity, mid arm circumference velocity and mid arm muscle circumference velocity and the age at which 50% of females have reached menarche were calculated. Growth velocities are lower than for English children and the puberty growth spurt occurs about 1 yr later in Sudanese than in English children.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
