[Effect of changed conditions on body height and body weight of preschool children in Jena].
This article reports results of an anthropological investigation on pre-school children from 1994. The body height and weight are presented and compared with results of the Jena Longitudinal Study and results of the investigations of school children which are carried out in Jena in relatively regular intervals since 1880. For the increase of the body weight since 1985/86 changes in the nutritional situation of the people from East-Germany are discussed. Other changes in the living conditions influencing the somatic development are analysed.
