Aim: To determine the natural growth pattern of Japanese children with Down's syndrome. Methods: Longitudinal height data of 85 patients (43 males, 42 females) from birth to final height were analyzed. Based on these data, semi‐longitudinal standard growth curves and height velocity curves for Down's syndrome were drawn. Results: The means ± SD of final height of males and females with Down's syndrome were 153.2 ± 5.6 and 141.9 ± 4.2 cm, respectively. They were –3.0 SD and –2.8 SD for Japanese standards. Mean peak height velocities were 8.9 and 7.5 cm y−1, and the ages at peak height velocity were 11.6 and 10.2 y for males and females, respectively.
