The aim of this study was to compare the heights of a nationwide sample of Danish schoolchildren in 1986/1987-1996/1997 to a sample in 1971/1972. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The school health officers in 23 municipalities representing a {"}mini-Denmark{"} collected from the school health records 3-4 routinely measured heights in children attending school in 1986/1987-1996/1997. The data covered at total of 11,351 height measurements of 3378 children. From these data, standards of height from the age of 6-16 years were calculated. RESULTS: The schoolchildren's average heights had increased about 1 cm at the start of school, 2-3 cm in girls and 5-6 cm in boys aged 10-15 years and 0.6 cm in girls and 1.6 cm in boys aged 16 years, as compared to growth charts for 1971/1972. CONCLUSION: The children in our study were taller than schoolchildren in 1971/1972, and they seemed to have an earlier pubertal height spurt. A growth study of Danish children is needed.
