Abstract: In 1985, measure ments and statistical analysis were done for the all season growth of 216 kindergartners (boys 125, girls 91) born in 1980 and 1981 at the kindergarten of Changzhi city, Shanxi Province. The average stature of boys increased 6.12 cm, girls 5.65 cm. The average weight of boys increased 2.49 kg, girls 2.35 kg. The amounts of the stature and the weight increaed at each season are examined with F test. The differences at each season are significant (P <0.01). The best growth season in a year is autumn. Compared to the other three seasons, the result of Dunnett test shows that only the amounts do not prominently differ from that of autumn in the increase of boys and girls spring stature and girls' , winter weight (P> 0.05). In summer and winter, the differences are significant (P <0.01).
