Mean centile heights and weights of 346 children referred to a child psychiatric clinic were recorded and compared with the psychiatric diagnoses of the children. Neurotic boys were found to have significantly greater mean centile heights than boys with (a) conduct disorders and (b) specific developmental disorders. No significant difference was found in the girls. The difference in boys' heights was not associated with any significant difference in social class, family size, or position in the family. No significant weight differences were found. The results are discussed, and it is concluded that the relationship between physical growth and psychiatric disorder in children merits further investigation.
记录了346名被转诊至儿童精神科诊所的儿童的平均百分位身高和体重，并将其与这些儿童的精神科诊断结果进行了比较。结果发现，患有神经症的男孩的平均百分位身高显著高于患有（a）品行障碍和（b）特定发育障碍的男孩。在女孩中未发现显著差异。男孩身高的差异与社会阶层、家庭规模或在家庭中的排行没有任何显著差异相关。未发现显著的体重差异。对结果进行了讨论，并得出结论：儿童身体发育与精神障碍之间的关系值得进一步研究。
