Abstract
A survey made in the centres of "Protection Maternelle et Infantile" in Paris has given successive anthropometric measurements, from the birth to 66 months, of 400 Chinese children who live in France. Body measurements of Chinese children born in Paris are slightly above those of Chinese children born in China. This is likely due to the improvements of living conditions, feeding and exogamy. There is a slight difference between the body measurements from girls and from boys. This sexual difference is statistically significant by t-test from one month-age.
