Raiola, F. Parlato, A. Sinisi, A. Bellastella] Height and weight were measured in 7902, 3.5-11-year-old children from Torre del Greco nursery and primary school and arranged in centiles by cumulative frequencies calculation after sorting into ascending order measurements and counting up from the bottom. Our population height and weight measurements were compared to Tanner's by chi-square test. Our population seems to be taller and fatter with respect to Tanner's. Two possible explanation can be suggested: 1) British data are findings published several years ago; 2) Modified conditions of life in South-Italy in the last 30 yr, especially increased feeding availability can explain both increased height and frequent weight excess observed. These data suggest that for a correct auxological evaluation it seems useful to compare children not only to Tanner's standards but to centiles derived from the same population.
