This report describes the growth curve during adolescence in the rural area of Mali (West Africa). The authors measured the height, weight, and arm circumference in a sample of 1255 subjects over 14 years and below 20 years of age during a 2-year cross-sectional study (1984–1985). The comparison of the trend of these criteria with French data suggests that Malian adolescents present a different growth curve to those observed in industrialized countries.
