ABSTRACT
Data of physical measurement of children aged 7-17 years old in China was from National Nutrition and Health Survey in 1982, 1992, 2002 and 2010-2012. From 1982 to 2012, the height and weight of children aged 7-17 years old continued to increase. The height of urban boys, urban girls, rural boys and rural girls ranged from 118.8 to 171.1, 117.8 to 159.9, 113.3 to 168.2 and 111.7 to 158.1 cm, and weight ranged from 21.3 to 61.4, 20.2 to 53.1, 19.4 to 57.9, and 19.0 to 51.5 kg, respectively. The height and weight of urban children were larger than those of rural children. The height and weight of boys were larger than those of girls, except for adolescents. From 1982 to 2012, the height increment of urban boys, urban girls, rural boys and rural girls was 8.8, 6.2, 12.9 and 10.8 cm, and weight increment was 9.9, 6.2, 9.8 and 7.6 kg, respectively. The increment of urban children was smaller than that of rural children, which implied that the disparity between urban and rural was shrinking. The increment of boys was larger than that of girls, which implied that the gender disparity was increasing.
