Height, weight and body mass index (BMI) at aged 7, 10 and 13 years for samples of Stockholm schoolchildren born in 1933, 1943, 1953 and 1963 were analysed in relation to their socioeconomic background. In height there were significant socioeconomic differences for boys and girls born in 1933 and 1943 at the ages of 7 and 10 years; children from the lowest socioeconomic group were smaller. For the cohort born in 1953 there were, however, no socioeconomic differences in height--either for boys or for girls. For children born in 1963, socioeconomic differences in height appeared again, but mainly for the boys; boys in the lowest socioeconomic group were smaller. Significant weight differences between socioeconomic groups were for the boys found only in cohorts born in 1943 and in 1963 and for the girls born in 1933, 1943 and 1953. Socioeconomic differences in BMI were found for boys born in 1943, when the middle socioeconomic group had the lowest index, and for boys born in 1963 when the highest socioeconomic group had the highest index. For girls socioeconomic differences in BMI were only found for girls born in 1953 when the lowest group had the highest BMI. The main conclusions from the study were: socioeconomic differences in height formerly present in Stockholm schoolchildren born in 1933 and 1943 were levelled out for the children born in 1953, but reappeared again for children born in 1963--mainly for the boys; these socioeconomic height differences for the 1963 cohort were of about the same magnitudes as those for the cohort born in 1943 during the Second World War. The influence of socioeconomic background on the BMI of Stockholm schoolchildren born 1933-63 was not so marked.
对1933年、1943年、1953年和1963年出生的斯德哥尔摩学童样本在7岁、10岁和13岁时的身高、体重和体重指数（BMI）与其社会经济背景的关系进行了分析。在身高方面，1933年和1943年出生的男孩和女孩在7岁和10岁时存在显著的社会经济差异；社会经济地位最低的群体中的儿童身材较小。然而，对于1953年出生的队列，无论男孩还是女孩，在身高方面都没有社会经济差异。对于1963年出生的儿童，身高方面的社会经济差异再次出现，但主要是男孩；社会经济地位最低的群体中的男孩身材较小。社会经济群体之间显著的体重差异仅在1943年和1963年出生的男孩队列以及1933年、1943年和1953年出生的女孩队列中发现。在BMI方面，发现1943年出生的男孩存在社会经济差异，此时社会经济地位中等的群体指数最低，而1963年出生的男孩存在社会经济差异，此时社会经济地位最高的群体指数最高。对于女孩，BMI方面的社会经济差异仅在1953年出生的女孩中发现，此时最低群体的BMI最高。该研究的主要结论是：1933年和1943年出生的斯德哥尔摩学童中以前存在的身高方面的社会经济差异在1953年出生的儿童中趋于平稳，但在1963年出生的儿童中再次出现——主要是男孩；1963年队列的这些社会经济身高差异与第二次世界大战期间1943年出生的队列的差异大致相同。社会经济背景对1933 - 1963年出生的斯德哥尔摩学童BMI的影响并不那么显著。
