HEIGHTS OF 12-YEAR-OLD PUERTO RICAN BOYS IN NEW YORK CITY: ORIGINS OF DIFFERENCES

Mark Abramowicz M.D.1

1 Department of Pediatrics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York

Heights of 12-year-old Puerto Rican boys attending New York City schools are influenced by place of birth and number of years residence in New York. As would be expected from other population studies, Puerto Rican boys born in New York are taller than boys born in Puerto Rico. However, in addition, boys who came to New York after the age of 6 years demonstrate a highly significant regression relationship between height at age 12 and years of residence in New York.
