Diabetes Alert is a multidisciplinary genetic and epidemiological study of Type II (non insulin‐dependent) diabetes in Texas Mexican Americans. We report the anthropometry of 1,155 individuals 10 to 70 or more years with particular reference to overweight, fatness, and anatomical fat patterning in the sample. Children ages 10–18 of both sexes are growing at the 50th percentile of the reference data (U.S. Health and Nutrition Examination Survey‐1) for height, Wt/Ht 2 , and triceps and subscapular skinfolds. Adults are well below median height but well above median Wt/Ht 2 and skinfolds. Prevalence of obesity (Wt/Ht 2 ≧30) among adults is typically 30% or higher by age 30. Diabetics compared to age/sex‐matched non diabetics have shorter sitting heights, have more upper body fat (subscapular skinfold), have less lower body fat (lateral calf skinfold), and were heavier at maximum weight and at age 18. The ratio of lower to upper body fat distribution decreases over the life cycle, being highest at adolescence and lowest at ages 40–50 in both sexes. Our results show a precipitous weight gain after maturity in the sample and an association of diabetes with differences in anatomical fat patterning The agerelated changes in fat patterning need to be explained in terms of their ecological and genetic influences
