Heights and weights of 31,448 boys and 27,306 girls 6\u201318\u2009years of age were measured by trained staff at each school; the BMI was calculated. The students were divided into five geographic regions for analysis: North, Central, South\u2010Gulf, South\u2010Pacific, and South\u2010Southeast. Growth status was compared to United States reference percentiles (P).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Mean heights of children and youth from the five regions varied between P10 and P5 of the reference until about 13\u2009years (girls) and 14\u2009years (boys); subsequently, heights were \u2264P5. Mean weights in both sexes were at P25 of the reference between 6 and 12\u2009years, and then varied between P25 and P10 in boys and were \u2265P25 in girls. Given the elevated weights relative to heights compared to the reference, mean BMIs of indigenous boys and girls were at or above the reference medians. Children and youth in the North and Central regions were, on average, taller than those in the South\u2010Pacific and South\u2010Southeast regions, while heights of those in the South\u2010Gulf region were generally intermediate. In contrast, mean weights and BMIs differed negligibly among the regions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The geographic gradient in heights of indigenous children and youth was consistent with a north\u2010to\u2010south pattern noted among indigenous adults in studies spanning 1898 through 2013. Variation in height among children and youth likely reflected ethnic\u2010specific and geographic variation interacting with economic and nutritional factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajpa.23706","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,29]],"date-time":"2018-09-29T05:50:48Z","timestamp":1538200248000},"page":"791-803","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Geographic variation in the growth status of indigenous school children and youth in Mexico"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"167","author":[{"given":"Robert M.","family":"Malina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology and Health Education University of Texas  Austin Texas"},{"name":"Department of Health Management and System Sciences, School of Public Health and Information Sciences University of Louisville  Louisville Kentucky"},{"name":"Department of Anthropology University of Louisville  Louisville Kentucky"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6485-4641","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bertis B.","family":"Little","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Management and System Sciences, School of Public Health and Information Sciences University of Louisville  Louisville Kentucky"},{"name":"Department of Anthropology University of Louisville  Louisville Kentucky"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joel","family":"Lanceta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Management and System Sciences, School of Public Health and Information Sciences University of Louisville  Louisville Kentucky"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Eugenia","family":"Pe\u00f1a Reyes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela Nacional de Antropolog\u00eda e Historia Instituto Nacional de Antropolog\u00eda  M\u00e9xico DF, M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guillermo","family":"Bali Ch\u00e1vez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comision Nacional para el Desarrollo de los Pueblos Ind\u00edgenas  M\u00e9xico DF, M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.65.12.1345"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajpa.23057"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajhb.22675"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/32.4.905"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajhb.22239"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajhb.22607"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ejcn.1602925"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","volume-title":"Albergues Escolares Ind\u00edgenas","author":"Comisi\u00f3n Nacional para el Desarrollo de los Pueblos Ind\u00edgenas","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","volume-title":"Guia para el Buen Comer en los Albergues Escolares Ind\u00edgenas","author":"Comisi\u00f3n Nacional para el Desarrollo de los Pueblos Ind\u00edgenas","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","volume-title":"T\u00e9cnicas de Medici\u00f3n para la Toma Peso y Estatura","author":"Comisi\u00f3n Nacional para el Desarrollo de los Pueblos Ind\u00edgenas","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","volume-title":"El Diario Oficial, Diciembre 29, 2008.
