A total of 4,371 high socioeconomic children, 2,220 boys and 2,151 girls, from Bangkok Metropolis, from 1985 to 1986 was studied. The height and weight were computed according to sex and age, height and weight for age, and weight for height were calculated in different percentiles (P5, P25, P50, P75 and P95). It was found that height and weight for age of a selected population of children are generally higher, they are taller and heavier than the children of previous studies. At 18 years of age, the average boy is 171 cm and 58 kg, while the average girls is 157.5 cm and 47 kg. The growth rate of Thai adults should be better with socioeconomic improvement in the standards of living in the future. Weight for height is not different from the previous studies, this is a more reliable and better parameter to evaluate the growth of children.
1985年至1986年期间，对来自曼谷都会区的4371名社会经济地位较高的儿童进行了研究，其中包括2220名男孩和2151名女孩。根据性别和年龄计算身高和体重，并计算不同百分位数（P5、P25、P50、P75和P95）的年龄别身高、年龄别体重和身高别体重。研究发现，所选儿童群体的年龄别身高和体重普遍较高，他们比以前研究中的儿童更高、更重。18岁时，男孩平均身高171厘米，体重58公斤，而女孩平均身高157.5厘米，体重47公斤。随着未来生活水平的社会经济改善，泰国成年人的生长速度应该会更好。身高别体重与以前的研究没有差异，这是评估儿童生长的一个更可靠、更好的参数。
