Assessment of growth is important in health management of infants and children. Evaluation of growth performance requires anthropometric measurements, with proper interpretation depending on the use of appropriate references. Europe-specific growth references have not been available. The purpose of the present study was to generate such references for infants and children from birth to 3 years of age. The study was further intended to assess the influence of nutrition and lifestyle factors on growth.
