Biosocial Development
CHAPTER GUIDE
Between 2 and 6 years of age, children grow almost 3 inches (about 7 centimeters) and gain about 41/2 pounds (2 kilograms) per year. By age 6, the average child in a developed nation weighs about 46 pounds (21 kilograms) and measures 46 inches (117 centimeters). In multiethnic countries, children of African descent tend to be tallest, followed by Europeans, Asians, and Latinos. Height differences within groups are greater than average differences between groups. Household income affects physical growth. Whereas low income once correlated with undernourishment in many parts of the world, today it also correlates with overweight and obesity. Overfeeding of children is the major cause of the global epidemic of adult heart disease and diabetes.
