Abstract
A study to describe physical status of school children (6-7 years old) in Kakegawa City, Sizuoka Prefecture was investigated, based on data of height, weight, circumference of the chest, body-trunk, sitting height, 120% over weight (for height) and Rohrer's Index. Longitudinal survey from 1971 to 1979 shows; 1) Smaller physical status compared with average national figure. 2) Shorter legs as compared to the body-trunks among school children surveyed. 3) An increasing number (yearly) of over weight among school children. The study proposes a development of a maternal education program through an integration of school health survey and maternal and child health program.
