title: [Population biology of North Germany. Comparative growth study of school children in Bremen and the rural surroundings].
abstract: Body weight and body height measurements have been carried out on two samples of n = 1236 pupils between 8 and 16 years of age from schools in Bremen and of n = 1401 pupils of the same age group from the rural surroundings of Bremen. From this information the values of the Rohrer-index and body surface have been calculated for each individual. The differences in these four anthropometric parameters between the rural and urban children were analysed by sex and age.
