North African people living in France have low socio-economic standing and high birth rates. Growth in weight and height of 359 North African infants born in France was followed during their first 2 years of life. Comparisons were made with standard growth curves for French infants and with the growth of 143 French infants living in similar conditions. Growth in height was similar in each group but at 6 to 9 months of age North African girls were heavier (p less than 0.05). In order to standardize the data for each infant, cubic polynomial interpolation method was used.
