[Longitudinal data of physical growth of healthy children. V. Acromial, radial, styleoideal, daktylion, ileospinal, tibial and medial malleolus heights of children aged 2.5 to 15 years (author's transl)].
From 1968--1978 a longitudinal study was performed concerning development of acromial, radial, styleoideal, daktylion, ileospinal, tibial and medial malleolus heights in 709 boys and 711 girls aged 2.5 to 15 years. During time studied, mean increases in boys amounted in acromial height to 70.0 cm, in radial height to 53.8 cm, in styleoideal height to 41.5 cm, in daktylion height to 33.4 cm in ileospinal height to 52.0 cm, in tibial height to 25.4 cm and in medial malleolus height to 3.8 cm. Corresponding data in girls amounted to 62.8 cm, 49.3 cm, 42.4 cm, 31.2 cm, 46,7 cm, 22.4 and 3.2 cm. Boys had a more intensive development of heights than girls except for styleoideal height. The heights measured developed almost linearly in boys and girls 4 to 10 years old. Development of heights decreased in 11 and 12 years old boys and increased again with year 13. In girls, intensity of growth decreased beginning with year 13.
