Abstract
Over a period of ten years we conducted a study on two sets of first-year pupils. They were reexamined every three years. The anthropometric data for body height and weight were subjected to cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis. The results confirm the continuing secular acceleration and indicate differences in development between children in towns or villages.
