[Incidence and duration of breast feeding in the city of Sassari from 1976 to 1987].

The authors have studied the incidence and duration of breast feeding (BF) among children from Sassari born in the period 1976 to 1987 (3608 full-term, normal infants). The data have shown a progressive decrease in the incidence and duration of B.F. from 1976 to 1983 followed by a progressive increase in the last 4 years of the study. The authors point out the need for structured incentive program aimed at a better education of the mothers concerning the advantages of breast feeding.

[Height and weight increase in Sassarian children in the last 20 years].

Height and weight were obtained for 4349 children (2330 males and 2019 females), aged 3-11 years and attending the primary school in Sassari, Sardinian, in 1986. Findings were compared to those reported by De Toni and Aicardi for the same population in 1966 in order to find out possible changes occurred in this lapse of time. The results of our study show that in the last 20 years children have become taller and heavier, but at the same time they seem to be rather "fatter" than in the past.
