Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study is to evaluate the growth of low income and multicultural families' children in Dae-jeon area via growth indices, obesity indices and metabolic risk factors. Methods Six to 13-year-old children were enrolled in this study. Children were examined their body composition and bone age and their blood samples were collected. Results Current growth of children in low income and multicultural families was under the average compared to that of average children in the same age. Also, boys were more prone to be overweight than girls and their skeletal maturity was more rapidly progressing. Conclusions Intensive management and more training in regards to exercise and eating habits will be needed to low income and multicultural families' children.
