The growth pattern of infants from birth to 2 years of age was studied in a homogenous Moslem semirural community near Jerusalem. The weight of the study population was compared with that of children from a western neighbourhood in Jerusalem and the National Centre of Health Statistics standard. The Abu Ghosh children are lighter than the Jerusalem and the National Centre of Health Statistics populations at birth and subsequently at 1, 6, 12, and 24 months of age. The percentage of weight gain between any two measurements at the various ages is slightly lower than that of the Jerusalem population. There is no decline in percentage of weight gain after weaning. Birthweight has accounted for a high percentage of explained variance of weight at 6 months (14.4%), but explained only 1.2% of variance at 24 months. The percentage of girls below the 10th centile was less than that of boys. The genetic and environmental effects on growth as well as the effect of the mother and child health services on the child rearing patterns of the populations are discussed.
在耶路撒冷附近一个同质化的穆斯林半农村社区，对婴儿从出生到2岁的生长模式进行了研究。将研究人群的体重与耶路撒冷一个西部社区儿童的体重以及国家卫生统计中心的标准体重进行了比较。阿布·戈什的儿童在出生时以及随后1个月、6个月、12个月和24个月时，体重均低于耶路撒冷和国家卫生统计中心人群。在不同年龄段的任意两次测量之间，体重增加的百分比略低于耶路撒冷人群。断奶后体重增加的百分比没有下降。出生体重在6个月时对体重变异的解释比例较高（14.4%），但在24个月时仅解释了1.2%的变异。低于第10百分位数的女孩比例低于男孩。讨论了遗传和环境对生长的影响，以及母婴健康服务对这些人群育儿模式的影响。
