title: [Anthropometric study of the Sassari population 6 to 11 years of age].
abstract: The average values [+/- SD) for height and weight of 1518 males and 1333 females between 6 and 11 years of age from the city of Sassari (Sardinia) have been determined. Numerical values and smooth curves from the 3rd to the 97th percentile for height and weight have also been calculated. The results were compared with those of the literature and particularly with those published by De Toni et Al. 20 years ago. The data show a significant increase in height and weight among Sardinian children during the past 20 years. The availability of these new curves will permit a more correct evaluation of growth in Sardinian children.
