Sažetak
This article focuses on anthropometric parameters as height for age, weight for age
and weight for height, which are among the most used tools for assessing well-being of
infants and children. Such data have been collected between 1992–1993 from samples
of infants and children aged between 2 and 10 years from urban and rural areas of
Ethiopia. Similar to many other reports from developing countries the great amount of
malnourished children is preoccupying as reflected by about 15% of children below the
5th centile of weight for height and about 53% of children below the 5th centile of height
for age and about 45% below the 5th centile of weight for age.
