Abstract

Introduction: GROWTH & development is one of the important health indices from birth till puberty. GROWTH usually refers to the increase of the body size and development denotes the changes in the functions. Since there has not been any studies concerning the above mentioned indices in Bandar Abbas, this investigation is conducted to determine the GROWTH indices of length and weight in infants of 2-5 years of age in Bandar Abbas. Method & Materials: in this descriptive cross-sectional study 400 children (200 boys & 200 girls) were selected through stratified-random sampling method, after measuring the weight and length of subjects, data was collected using a questionnaire containing questions on education, job, family relation, number of children, nutritional habits, and disease history. Data was analyzed by descriptive methods and t-test and infants GROWTH curve was compared to NCHS standard curve. Results: Infants weights in all age groups were below the standard weight. Two year-old boy's length was according to the standard curve but in other age groups it was shorter than the standard ones. In the case of the girls height compared to the standard curve, no specific pattern was observed. The results showed significant relationship between parents' education and occupation and weight and height of the infants. Conclusion: 2-5 years old infants' GROWTH curve in Bandar Abbas is not according to the standard curve. However, more comprehensive studies should be conducted in different regions to prepare GROWTH and development curves for health planning and they should be followed up by authorities.
