[Body height and weight of school age children in Subotica].

This paper discusses the result of the stature and body weight cross-sectional anthropometric examination of Subotica school children in the school year of 1986/87. The research specimen consisted of 13.689 students aged from 7-15 years which presents the complete population of elementary school children. The mean values of stature and body weight for the given sex and age, distributed according to standard deviation, create a basis for the working out of a growth curve of Subotica school children. The obtained data is of great practical importance, since it is applicable in everyday clinical work in school health centers.
