title: Correlation of skeletal maturation with stature and body weight of southern Chinese girls in Hong Kong.
abstract: Correlations of skeletal maturation with stature and body weight were studied in one hundred and seventeen Southern Chinese girls aged eleven years nine months and twelve years three months born and brought up in Hong Kong. The skeletal maturation was assessed from the left hand and wrist radiographs by the Greulich and Pyle Atlas Method. The early maturers in skeletal development were significant taller and heavier than the late maturers with p less than 0.001.
