Content Summary
This study examines the growth parameters of Inuit children in coastal Labrador, using a retrospective analysis of public health records. The findings indicate that while birth measurements align with national averages, deviations occur between 6 and 12 months. The research provides valuable data for understanding the health and development of Indigenous children in remote areas.
