The results were also com pared with other studies from different part of the Turkey and possible factors vvhich might have contributed to the differences were discussed. We expect that our findings could be used a reference norm for grovvth and development in Konya and will be useful in the es- tablishm ent of the standart values of Turkish children body measurements.
