title: Growth of Aboriginal infants.
abstract: Aboriginal infants at Cherbourg Aboriginal Settlement in Queensland now have growth rates which are similar to those of white Australian infants. The proportion of children under 90% of the standard weight-for-age appears to be the same as for white Australian children and meets the international standards. Apart from premature infants, no children have been found in the accepted "at risk" categories.
