Components of length growth variation in infants from the same population but different environments

Article Abstract:

This article examines several methods used to analyze the growth patterns of infants in Khartoum, Sudan. Findings indicate that babies born to working mothers have higher incidences of infectious diseases and a decreased supine length when compared to infants of housewives in Khartoum.

Early life influences on adult leg and trunk length in the 1958 British birth cohort
