Abstract

For the purpose of planning babies' clothes, the authors studied cross-sectionally the process of growth by measurements took in 1973 on the 1316 babies (male : 727, female : 589) aged 1to 12 months. The items of measurements included stature, upper extremity length, lower extremity length, foot length, biacromial width, maximum hip width, head girth, chest girth, abdominal girth, hip girth, thigh girth, upper arm girth, neck base girth, vertical trunk length, and weight.<BR>The following results were obtained : <BR>1) Though all measurements increase rapidly in babyhood, the growth speed is especially rapid before 5 months.<BR>2) Upper and lower extremities grow relatively more rapidly than stature. Width and girth measurements increase relatively more rapidly than length measurements early in babyhood.<BR>3) Male babies exceed female babies in almost measurements except for thigh girth through the first year of life.
