Abstract
This study presents growth charts of preschool based on cross-sectional data of the population in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Charts on weights and heights per age were designed separately for boys and girls. Boys consistently weighed more than girls for this age group at every age. Also, the boys were taller than the girls after the age of one year. Since the growth deficits in children from Saudi Arabia compared with internationally recommended reference populations may be attributed to genetic and environmental factors, the charts presented will suffice as a standard in monitoring the growth of Saudi children in particular and those in the Gulf region in general.
