Abstract

Weight charts in two rural African populations (Ntomba Oto and Twa) have been constructed on the basis of 26,330 measurements of weight of babies aged from birth to 24 months. Centile lines were produced by fitting the Jenss-Bayley growth curve to the respective centile values calculated at each age. The average patterns of increase in weight in boys and girls in the two populations are compared with those in other populations.
