During a three-months period a cross-sectional study of the measurements of head circumference, mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC) and weight was performed in 515 under five-year-old children in Kyeni, Kenya. Growth of Kyeni children seems to develop according to international standards for weight-for-age, MUAC-for-age and head circumference and for all parameters the average remains above minus 2 SD of the standard. Despite the presence of anthropometric malnutrition and downward trend in weight-for-age, MUAC-for-age and to a lesser degree the head circumference-for-age, the average growth of the Kyeni children in Kenya is within normal limits of international references.
在三个月的时间里，对肯尼亚凯耶尼地区515名五岁以下儿童进行了头围、上臂中部周长（MUAC）和体重测量的横断面研究。凯耶尼儿童的生长发育似乎符合年龄别体重、年龄别MUAC和头围的国际标准，所有参数的平均值均保持在标准值减2个标准差以上。尽管存在人体测量学上的营养不良以及年龄别体重、年龄别MUAC呈下降趋势，且年龄别头围下降程度较小，但肯尼亚凯耶尼儿童的平均生长发育仍在国际参考标准的正常范围内。
