  abstract = {{T}o compare the anthropometric characteristics of children with an without {HIV}-1 infection. {I}n a prospective cohort study of 218 children born to {HIV}-1 seropositive mothers and 218 children born to {HIV}-1 seronegative mothers in {K}igali, {R}wanda, 3 groups were compared : infected children (n = 46), uninfected children born to seropositive mothers (n = 140), and uninfected children born to seronegative mothers (n = 207). {W}eight, height and head circumference were measured at birth, every 3 months during the first year of life and every 6 months thereafter. {T}he weight-for-age, height-for-age, weight-for-height and head circumference-for-age mean z scores were calculated. {T}he weight-for-age, height-for-age and head circumference-for-age mean z scores were lower among {HIV}-infected children than among uninfected ones at each time period. {T}he reduction in the weight-for-age mean z score was the greatest between 12 and 36 months of age. {O}n the other hand the weight-for-height mean z score was not consistently lower in {HIV}-infected children when compared with uninfected ones. {T}he anthropometric characteristics of uninfected children born to seropositive mothers were similar to those of children born to seronegative mothers. {I}n this study, {HIV}-infected children were more frequently stunted (low heigh-for-age) than uninfected ones. {W}asting (low weight-for-height) was not common among {HIV}-infected children.
