The 1972 Cuban national child growth study as an example of population health monitoring: design and methods

Abstract: A stratified 3-stage random sample of 50 360 children ages 0-19 drawn from the whole population of Cuba was measured in a large-scale growth study during 1972-73. Fifteen anthropometric measurements were taken and puberty stages and menarche status were assessed. Hand-wrist radiographs were done on 10% of the sample.

“…The longest paper in the AnnalsÐ 34 pagesÐ was on the genetic likenesses and di erences of the various Jewish populations in the world (Kobyliansky Micle, Golschmidt-Nathan, Arensburg and Nathan, 1982;followed up in Kobyliansky and Livshits 1985). Probably the most detailed account of the organization of a cross-sectional population survey ever published was Jordan, Ruben, Hernandez, Bebelagua, Tanner and Goldstein (1975), concerning the Cuban Survey of 1972. A similarly large national sample, the British National Child Development Study, wherein every child born in 1 week of 1958 was periodically followed up, provided a model study of social class e ects (Lasker and MascieTaylor 1989).…”
