Abstract
This article represents the results of the study, which aim was to develop percentile charts of height, weight and head circumference of Russian children with trisomy 21 at the age of 0–12 months. Nowadays there are no charts for the evaluation of physical development of children with Down syndrome in Russia. 514 children with cytogenetically confirmed Down syndrome and upbringing in families were examined. The repeated measurements of height, weight and head circumference according to the standard methods were performed at the age from 0 to 1 year. The total amount of measurements, according to which results there were made percentile charts of height, weight and head circumference, was 4538. The developed charts can be successfully used in practice of the out-patient pediatrician in order to assess physical development of a child with Down syndrome.
