  • Title: The normal growth patterns of New Zealand preschool children.
    Author: Binney VM, Smith AR, Spears GF, Geddis DC.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1991 Nov 13; 104(923):461-2. PubMed ID: 1945169.
    Abstract:
    This study was designed to update New Zealand Growth Charts for preschool children. The heights, weights and head circumferences of 12,311 children aged one month to five years were recorded. From this data growth charts were constructed. Since significant differences were found between the measurements for boys and girls, separate graphs were constructed. We strongly advise that these graphs be used by all health professionals involved with child health surveillance of the 0-5 age group.
