- Abstract
Determining the Body Mass Index and skinfold measurement are, in the human biological and clinical practice, the most widespread methods for assessing the nutritional status. The Körmend Growth study was launched in 1958 in Hungary by Professor Ottó Eiben. Afterwards, the survey was repeated in regular 10-year intervals. The latest measurement was performed by the author together with professor Eiben in 1998 at Körmend. Out of the Körmend Growth Study results, characteristic secular changes of the BMI and skinfold data in Western Hungary are highlighted in this study.
