Product Information
This book covers the process of growth in children in terms which a biologically unsophisticated reader will understand. The author describes the intra-uterine environment, the development of sex differences in growth rate, cellular and organic growth and paediatric and adolescent endocrinology. He also considers the interaction of nutrition, stress and genetic factors in growth and the commoner forms of growth disorders. The book concludes with a series of charts with instructions on how to use them to predict eventual mature height.Product Identifiers
