Assessment of Physical Growth and Pubertal Development.
Growth is far too complex to be described only in terms of height and weight in relation to age. In addition to addressing multiple factors that have clinical value in the assessment of growth in adolescence, this chapter discusses the interpretation of growth data, growth at puberty, and methods of predicting height at maturity.
