The ethnicity, as part of other important factors, which are determinants of children's physical development, has a specific role. The main purpose of this study was to determine the standards, which have to be used in order to assess the physical development of newborn children of Turkish ethnic origin. The primer source of information is the Obstetric Clinic of Medical University, where 265 newborn children of Turkish ethnicity were registered. The Percentile method was used to derive the standards. Referring to the extent of the excerpt the standards of height, body mass and tours of the head evaluation are authentic and statistically reliable. This is the reason why they could be in assistance of obstetrician gynecologists and microbiologists, when assessing the physical development of children in next 8-10 years.
