The objectives of this paper are to assess the extent to which this \u201cshort and plump\u201d physique occurs in data collected in two national surveys (HANES I and II); to determine variations by age, sex, and socioeconomic status; and to investigate the anthropometric characteristics that may account for the overweight. Three groups, defined on the basis of reported ancestry and observed race, are studied: Mexican\u2010Americans (MEXAME), non\u2010Hispanic Whites, (EURAME), and blacks (BLACK). Short stature was clearly associated with the poverty index (PI) in all three groups. MEXAMEs with a PI greater than 1.6 were similar in stature to EURAMEs at the same income level at ages 1\u201311 years but not at 12\u201317 years. On the other hand, MEXAMEs were shorter than BLACKs at all ages and income levels. The body mass index (kg\/cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) and poverty were unrelated. With respect to the anthropometric characteristics examined that are related to the body mass index, MEXAMEs and EURAMEs were similar in sitting height as a proportion of total height, arm muscle and fat areas, and triceps skinfold but different in the following ways: MEXAMEs had narrower elbow but broader bitrochanteric breadths and larger chest circumferences and subscapular skinfolds. Greater upper body dimensions and fatfolds seem to best describe the physique of MEXAMEs. However, in multiple regressions, these anthropometric characteristics failed to account fully for the greater relative weight of MEXAMEs as compared to EURAMEs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajpa.1330730410","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,3]],"date-time":"2006-02-03T22:54:44Z","timestamp":1139007284000},"page":"475-487","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Short and plump physique of Mexican\u2010American children"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"73","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Martorell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.
