Özet

Objective: The percentiles of weight, height and body mass index (BMI) change markedly from one country to another and also from one city to another, particularly in childhood. The aim of the present study is to construct BMI percentile curves for predominantly breastfed Turkish children aged 0-2 years from Ankara, Turkey.
