Abstract
In the period 1979–1980 the following anthropometric measurements were recorded in 2351 healthy Dutch children from 0–17 years of age: height, weight, sitting height, arm span, lengths of upper‐arm, lower‐arm and hand, tibial length, foot length, biacromial diameter, biiliacal diameter, and head circumference. Corresponding percentile values were constructed on the basis of normality assumptions, the mean and standard deviation at agetbeing determined by a cubic spline approximation. The results are compared with other studies and given in the form of growth charts.Keywords
