Thus growth norms (age-related averages for height and weight) must be applied cautiously. Physical growth, like other aspects of development, results from a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Moreover, the endocrine glands also control the vast physical changes of childhood...
The first is commonly measured in a simple way, by the increase in weight and stature. The second can be assessed from the structural progress in skeletal development as visualized in roentgenograms. During later childhood and the preadolescent period the appearance of secondary sexual ...
