A longitudinal study of the physical growth of Japanese infants
In order to clarify the characteristics of the physical growth of Japanese infants up to 1 year of age, the data of 3183 infants from 53 hospitals in Japan were collected. Percentile values were calculated from the measurement of body weight, recumbent length, and head circumference, with some additional data interpolated to fill the gaps in the measurements. Compared to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) standard, the recumbent len…
Tobacco use among Japanese schoolchildren
Over the past two decades many studies have shown associations between smoking and increased health problems. Smoking among children is especially a major public health concern. Preventing young people from developing a smoking habit is an important goal for school health education. In Japan, it is difficult to collect accurate data regarding adolescent smoking behaviour, because in Japan smoking under the age of 20 is prohibited by law. Therefor…
Standards from birth to maturity for height, weight, height velocity, and weight velocity
Standards: Chronological Age-based and Individual Type We now consider how to construct velocity standards, to answer our second question 'Has this child's rate of growth been within normal limits ?' We are again confronted with the alternatives of plotting against chronological or developmental age at adolescence and we have adopted the same solution as before. First we give, in the conven- tional manner, centiles plotted against chrono- logical…
