Non-Invasive Measurements of Physical Maturity in Children.

Roche, Alex F.; And Others

Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, v54 n4 p364-71 Dec 1983

Serial data for 268 normal boys and girls were obtained and used to calculate predicted adult statures without using skeletal age. The data can be used to measure physical maturity in 5- to 15-year-old boys and 3- to 13-year-old girls without invasion of privacy or radiological techniques. (Author/PP)
