目的：以前的研究发现格陵兰儿童的线性生长发育迟缓率很高。我们测量了格陵兰岛的生长模式，并将其与国际生长charts.Methods：研究队列包括279名6-10岁的健康儿童在2012年。他们参加了格陵兰的两个怀孕和出生队列，出生时的纵向生长数据从他们的医疗记录中提取。用LMS法估算儿童生长参考值，并与丹麦和世界卫生组织（WHO）的生长图进行比较。结果：儿童平均身长、体重和头围均大于WHO生长图（P <0.01）。
Aim: Previous studies have found high rates of stunted linear growth in Greenlandic children. We measured growth patterns in Greenland and compared them with international growth charts.Methods: The study cohort comprised 279 healthy children aged 6-10 years in 2012. They participated in two pregnancy and birth cohorts in Greenland and longitudinal growth data as birth was extracted from their medical records. Growth reference ranges were estimated with the lambda-mu-sigma (LMS) method and compared with growth charts from Denmark and the World Health Organization (WHO).Results: The children's mean length, weight and head circumference were significantly larger than the WHO growth charts (p
