Changes in body size and fatness of Australian schoolchildren 1911–1976

ABSTRACT. Data have been analysed from surveys of Queensland schoolchildren done in 1911, 1950 and 1976. Over this period there has been a marked increase in both height‐for‐age and weight‐for‐age in boys and girls. However, in boys, this increases growth has been associated with minimal increase in fatness. In girls there has probably been a real increase in body fatness, particularly since 1950. Raw data from past growth studies would make the analysis for secular changes in stature more meaningful and accurate. We suggest that a central data bank for Australian growth studies be set up.
