Dewey, Kathryn G.; And Others
American Journal of Public Health, v76 n7 p806-08 Jul 1986
Anthropometric data were obtained from 526 Southeast Asian preschool children during 1980-84. Mean weights and heights were substantially below the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) 50th percentile, but rates of weight and height gain were similar to reference values, indicating adequate growth after arrival in the United States.
