Growth in Black and White Children with Down Syndrome.
Ershow, Abby G.
American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v90 n5 p507-12 Mar 1986
Growth in 28 black and 30 white children with Down syndrome was compared at birth, 4 months, 1 year, and 7 years. Results showed essentially identical growth rates and suggested that long-term growth of these children may be responsive to external influences, such as maternal smoking and maternal weight at delivery.
