A comparative database with Tamil children [( 0 to 6 yr old, south Indian (n=13) and Sri Lanka (n=69)] born in France (Paris and its suburbs, first generation) and those living in south India [(Tamil Nadu (n=43) and Kerala (n=66)] was created with the ultimate purpose of preventing deficiencies in children's health. Two main methods were used for collection of socio-demographic data as parents and body mass index of children. In France, Tamil boys (n=42) and girls (n=40) had almost the same percentage for obesity (about 5%), adiposity rebound was more for girls (7%) than for boys (2%). But thinness (between the 3(rd) and 10(th) percentile) was more in boys (22%) and girls (24%). In India (boys n=48, girls n=61), obesity was more in girls than those born in France; as also adiposity rebound, and underweight was noticed in a third of both girls and boys. In France, cultural impact of immigration is very important and can explain the stress of immigrant families. This may account for the thinness of the children.
创建了一个包含法语区（巴黎及其郊区，第一代）和南印度（泰米尔纳德邦（n=43）和喀拉拉邦（n=66））出生的讲泰米尔语的儿童（0 至 6 岁，南印度儿童（n=13）和斯里兰卡儿童（n=69））的对比数据库，目的是预防儿童健康出现缺陷。收集社会人口统计学数据的主要方法是父母和儿童的体重指数。在法国，讲泰米尔语的男孩（n=42）和女孩（n=40）肥胖的比例几乎相同（约 5%），女孩（7%）的脂肪反弹比男孩（2%）多。但消瘦（3%至 10%）的男孩（22%）和女孩（24%）更多。在印度（男孩 n=48，女孩 n=61），肥胖在女孩中比在法国出生的儿童更常见；脂肪反弹和消瘦在三分之一的女孩和男孩中都有出现。在法国，移民的文化影响非常重要，它可以解释移民家庭的压力。这可能导致儿童消瘦。
