Averages for standing height are brought together at late childhood ages on boys of different ethnic groups studied in the United States during the last 100 years. More than 80 averages are assembled at each of two ages (9 years and 11 years). Among the groups represented are boys having the following ancestries: Afro-Black, Amerind, Chinese, Japanese, Eskimo, Mexican, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Finnish, German, Italian, British, and Dutch. Suffice to cite examples of findings on boys age 11 years. United States Black boys studied during the period 1967-1978 were taller than those studied during 1886-1898 by 11.4 cm, or 8.6%. Average standing heights in the 1930s were near 134 cm for Pueblo boys; near 139 cm for boys whose progenitors were Navajo, Mexican, or Polish; and near 142 cm for boys of Finnish ancestry. In the 1950s, average standing heights were near 140 cm, 144 cm, and 146 cm, respectively, on United States boys of Japanese, Italian, and Dutch ancestries. Afro-Black and Amerind similarities and dissimilarities in the 1960s are illustrated by averages near 140 cm on Black and Chippewa groups in Pennsylvania and Minnesota, and near 144 cm on Black and Blackfeet groups in Ohio and Montana. In some instances, averages are compared for upper and lower socioeconomic subgroups, and for urban and rural subgroups.
过去100年里，美国对不同种族男孩在童年晚期的身高平均值进行了汇总。在9岁和11岁这两个年龄阶段，分别汇总了80多个平均值。所涵盖的群体包括具有以下血统的男孩：非裔黑人、美洲印第安人、中国人、日本人、爱斯基摩人、墨西哥人、西班牙人、葡萄牙人、波兰人、芬兰人、德国人、意大利人、英国人以及荷兰人。下面仅列举11岁男孩的研究结果为例。1967年至1978年期间研究的美国黑人男孩比1886年至1898年期间研究的那些男孩高11.4厘米，即8.6%。20世纪30年代，普韦布洛男孩的平均身高接近134厘米；祖先是纳瓦霍人、墨西哥人或波兰人的男孩平均身高接近139厘米；芬兰血统的男孩平均身高接近142厘米。20世纪50年代，具有日本、意大利和荷兰血统的美国男孩平均身高分别接近140厘米、144厘米和146厘米。20世纪60年代，非裔黑人和美洲印第安人的异同体现在宾夕法尼亚州和明尼苏达州的黑人与奇佩瓦人群体平均身高接近140厘米，以及俄亥俄州和蒙大拿州的黑人与黑脚人群体平均身高接近144厘米。在某些情况下，还比较了社会经济地位较高和较低的亚群体以及城市和农村亚群体的平均值。
