A limited survey of the physical characteristics of Western Samoan pre-school children was conducted. The Samoan children appear larger than their European counterparts in early infancy, although this difference is lost by nine months of age. There is a need to establish standards of growth for Western Samoan children. Until these standards are available caution is advised when comparing Samoan infant growth parameters with UK norms.
对西萨摩亚学龄前儿童的身体特征进行了一项有限的调查。萨摩亚儿童在婴儿早期似乎比欧洲同龄人更大，尽管这种差异在9个月大时就消失了。有必要为西萨摩亚儿童建立生长标准。在将萨摩亚婴儿生长参数与英国标准进行比较时，在这些标准出台之前，建议谨慎行事。
