Some growth parameters of 870 full-blood Aboriginal children are reported and an over-representation in the low percentiles is demonstrated. The morbidity and mortality amongst these children are highest in the group which is failing to thrive. It is suggested that the poor physical development is largely due to undernutrition, and that most of the morbidity and mortality is due to infection in synergism with undernutrition.
