Description

A study was carried out of 1037 three-year old and 954 seven-year old children from the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Child Development Study comparing socio-economic status, height and intellectual development with family size and birth order. There were no significant associations between family size and birth order and the measured characteristics. The differences between New Zealand and British children were contrasted.
