Analyses of available growth data from different groups of Israeli children revealed wide differences in attained growth in groups of children whose parents immigrated from different countries. By means of analyses of variance, it was shown that these differences in growth are most likely due to differences in the socioeconomic level of the family, rather than being related to parental country of origin. The data also suggest that nutrition problems among Israeli children, although not very severe, reflect a moderate degree of maldistribution of available food resources in different socioeconomic and cultural subgroups. The data also support the applicability and usefulness of a reference population data base drawn from children in the United States, in evaluating the attained growth status of children in different population groups.
对以色列不同儿童群体现有生长数据的分析表明，父母来自不同国家的儿童群体在生长发育方面存在巨大差异。通过方差分析表明，这些生长差异很可能是由于家庭社会经济水平的差异，而非与父母的原籍国有关。数据还表明，以色列儿童中的营养问题虽然不太严重，但反映出不同社会经济和文化亚群体中可用食物资源存在一定程度的分配不均。这些数据也支持了源自美国儿童的参考人群数据库在评估不同人群中儿童生长发育状况方面的适用性和实用性。
