المستخلص : The aim of the present study was to establish normal values for height-for-age, and weight-for-age for elementary schoolboys in an urban southwestern region of Saudi Arabia, and to compare the Saudi values with the USA National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) standards. Methods : A total of 1407 schoolboys representative of all schoolboys aged 6-13 years in the Asir Region were subjected to weight and height measurements. The values were corrected for age in the form of centile bands, and compared with the NCHS standards. Then, 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th and 95th local percentiles of weight and height were calculated from such values using the frequencies procedure. Results : Saudi boys were significantly shorter (p<0.001) and lighter (p<0.0001) and fell below the NCHS standards. About 38% and 30% of boys fell below the 10th centile for weight and height respectively. Conclusion : New national growth standards are needed if growth in schools is to be properly monitored. However, till the construction of such standards the present study may be used as a source of reference for urban schoolboys in the region.
