Researchers have hypothesized that shorter mean statures at onset of the adolescent spurt and more rapid skeletal maturation during adolescence among East Asian populations contribute significantly to their shorter mean adult statures compared to European populations.

## Abstract Stature was measured (in cm) in 166 (120 male; 46 female) predominantly white adults (age range: 17β87 years). A radiograph of one hand of each subject was taken (for routine diagnostic purposes) and the interβarticular length of all five metacarpal bones was measured with a sliding cal
This study, which used data from a longitudinal nutrition study of mothers and infants in rural Guatemala, tested a hypothesis that the influence of maternal nutritional status on various measurements of fetal growth is trimester-specific. The relationships between various measures of newborn size a
