Ritchie, Lorrene D.; And Others
California Agriculture, v49 n2 p33-35 Mar-Apr 1995
Among 152 low-income Mexican American mothers and 350 children in San Jose (California) and rural Tulare County, about half of mothers and 14% of children were overweight. Nine percent of rural children and 17% of urban children were unusually short. Maternal obesity was related to acculturation factors, whereas child height was related to maternal education. (SV)
