Heights and bodyweights were measured for 903 unselected schoolchildren 6 to 14 years old in Dublin, Irish Republic, and were compared with results for children in London, UK and Boston, Mass., USA. In delineating acceptable upper and lower limits of normal height and bodyweight, it is suggested that the London figures are more applicable to Dublin children than those collected in Boston.
