Growth of a national sample of Israeli children
Statures and weights of two national samples of Jewish children, from 9–15 months and 7–10 years of age, and their birth weights were studied, based on personal records (n = 7,532 and 4,638 respectively). Comparison with the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) median indicated that the median birth weight of the population is similar to the reference population. At both ages, males and females were slightly lighter and shorter than the r…
Maternal and environmental characteristics as predictors of child behavior problems and cognitive competence
Maternal and environmental characteristics as predictors of behavioral problems and cognitive competence in 505 Israeli kindergarten children were investigated. Events in closer temporal proximity to assessments of functioning appeared more predictive than those in early infancy. Findings support the need to include variables reflecting maternal characteristics in any prediction of child outcome and to consider the sex of the child in selection o…

Comparison of head circumference in an Israeli child population with United States and British standards
The head circumference (HC) growth pattern of infants from 1 to 24 months of age was studied in a Jerusalem community. The means of HC of the study population are smaller for each age and sex group than those of the National Center of Health Statistics, USA reference population, London children and the Nellhaus standard. The regression of HC on length explains about 20% of the variance. In an analysis of variance controlling for social class, bir…
Growth pattern of children in a Moslem semirural community near Jerusalem
The growth pattern of infants from birth to 2 years of age was studied in a homogenous Moslem semirural community near Jerusalem. The weight of the study population was compared with that of children from a western neighbourhood in Jerusalem and the National Centre of Health Statistics standard. The Abu Ghosh children are lighter than the Jerusalem and the National Centre of Health Statistics populations at birth and subsequently at 1, 6, 12, and…
Determinants of short stature in normal children at the age of two years
Differences were analysed between growth patterns and determinants of physical growth in two groups of normal infants at 24 months. Longitudinal data routinely collected in a mother and child clinic were analysed. At 24 months, 26% of cohort infants were at or below the 10th percentile for length (= 'small' infants); 98 of these were compared with 83 'medium' infants (between the 50th and the 75th percentile, for example). Excessive downward devi…
Community diagnosis of physical growth of infants based on monitoring in a routine preventive service
The physical growth pattern of infants aged from one month to two years was studied in a lower middle class community in Jerusalem. Weight and length were measured at one month and at three, six, 12, and 24 months. In each age and sex group there were at least 200 children. At one month and 24 months the percentage of children below the 10th percentile for weight and also for length was higher than expected, although severely impaired linear grow…
Psychomotor Development of Two-Year-Old Children in Jerusalem
This investigation studied the effect of maternal region of birth and education on the psychomotor development of 512 two-year-old children born in Jerusalem. Children of immigrants from Western countries scored significantly higher in the Brunet-Lézine test than children whose parents came from Eastern countries. No statistically significant differences were found in the scores of children of Israeli-born mothers whether they originated from Eas…
