Resumo
In a generally low‐income group of 4,888 White boys and girls, 740 obese children (above the 85th percentile for the triceps fatfold) stand systematically taller, by 0.64 Z scores, than 840 lean boys and girls (below the 15th percentile for fatness) a difference increasing to 1 S.D. at ages 11–12, suggesting a direct effect of the level of fatness on standing height and a cumulative fatness‐related difference in the annual rate of growth.
