The Measurement of Body Compositionation in understanding growth processes, both provide only dimensional data. Height is a linear measurement, while weight is a measure of body mass; as such they provide limited information about body composition. Hence, much effort has been expended in quantifying the body’s composition . (Bro?ek a

The Measurement of Skeletal Maturationoceeded towards adulthood. Therefore, maturation is a particular type of development: development that proceeds to the same end point in all individuals. In this sense, measures relative to adult size for the same individual, for example, present stature as a percentage of actual or predicted adult

Adolescent Growth marked acceleration in growth of most body dimensions during a period of about two years, leading towards a peak in growth velocity. After reaching this maximum rate, growth slows down and finally reaches a more or less stable level, mature size. Although universally present in all normal boys and

Developmental Genetics of Manncludes study of the continuum from molecules to populations. Some single genes can be clearly detected, such as the dominant gene for achondroplasia. But more often, particularly in normal individuals, single genes that determine morphological characteristics cannot be detected. These characteristi
