Body Size, Fatness, and Leanness of Mexican American Children in Brownsville, Texas: Changes Between 1972 and 1983.
Malina, Robert M.; And Others
American Journal of Public Health, v77 n5 p573-77 May 1987
Changes in physical dimensions of a sample of lower socioeconomic Mexican American children, ages 6 through 17, from Brownsville, TX, were documented on the basis of surveys done in 1972 and 1983. Results suggest that these youth are similar in growth to other Mexican American youth, and confirm large proportion of relatively short but heavy children among Mexican Americans. (KH)
