title: [Secular trend of physical development and its significance for pediatric practice].
abstract: A review is given on the secular trend of the somatic development, on its part-phenomena and on the mutual interest of the human biology as well as the pediatric practice. The author presents two example of a positive secular trend in Hungary concerning the growth of height and the maturation in girls, respectively. This last one, however, shows also a negative tendency in the last decades.
