本文报告了居住在伯利兹乡村的莫潘玛雅学童样本的成长状况。这些儿童表现出慢性营养不良的典型生长模式，其中很大一部分发育迟缓（66%），但按照世界卫生组织的标准，几乎没有一个儿童被浪费。将伯利兹玛雅儿童与其他四个美洲印第安人群体进行比较，发现他们比来自危地马拉的半城市群体更矮、更轻，但比来自危地马拉和墨西哥的三个农村群体更高、更重。伯利兹儿童的臂围是所有五个群体中最大的。这种生长模式是根据当前关于遗传与环境对儿童生长和人口福祉的贡献的观点进行讨论的。
This paper reports the growth status of a sample of Mopan Maya school children living in a rural village in Belize. These children exhibit a growth pattern typical of chronic undernutrition, in that a high percentage are stunted (66%), but virtually none are wasted by WHO criteria. The Belize Maya children are compared to four other Amerindian groups and found to be shorter and lighter than a semi-urban group from Guatemala, but taller and heavier than three rural groups from Guatemala and Mexico. The Belize children exhibit the largest arm circumferences among all five groups. This pattern of growth is discussed in light of current ideas concerning the contribution of genetics vs. environment to childhood growth and population well-being.
