Growth rates of children of subsaharan African ancestry born to immigrant parents and of French children in Paris

Article Abstract:

Researchers conducted a study on growth rates of children born in Paris, France to parents who are of African ancestry. A longitudinal study of growth from birth to age four revealed some population differences. The length and weight of these children were lower than French newborns. However, African infants grow and catch up with French infants during the first month of life, and their weight increases more than French babies. The Body mass index of the African children during the first year of life is lower than means of French children, which could be nutritional.

Cross-sectional study of echocardiographic characteristics in healthy children living at high altitude

Article Abstract:

Assessment of cardiovascular developmental characteristics of healthy children living at high altitudes through the performance of echocardiographic measurements is carried out. The result shows that the pattern of cardiovascular development at high altitude in children with some degree of high-altitude genetic background and living in comparatively good nutritional and socioeconomic conditions is similar to that reported for sea-level children.
