Methods in Human Growth Research
In order to gain an understanding of the dynamics of human individual and average growth patterns it is essential that the right methods are selected. There are a variety of methods available to analyse individual growth patterns, to estimate variation in different growth measures in populations and to relate genetic and environmental factors to individual and average growth. This volume provides an overview of modern techniques for the assessment and collection of growth data and methods of analysis for individual and population growth data. The book contains the basic mathematical and statistical tools required to understand the concepts of the methods under discussion and worked examples of analyses, but it is neither a mathematical treatise, nor a recipe book for growth data analysis. Aimed at junior and senior researchers involved in the analysis of human growth data, this book will be an essential reference for anthropologists, auxologists and paediatricians.

Growth Standards, Bone Maturation and Idiopathic Short Stature
The ultimate goal of KIGS, the Kabi International Growth Study, is to establish global guidelines and standards in the diagnosis and treatment of growth disorders. However, the clinicians, statisticians and auxologists involved must first arrive at a consensus of opinion on certain fundamental issues. This publication contains the reports of the 1st KIGS Expert Meeting, which related mainly to the question of auxological standards for height and also included the problem of bone maturation and bone-age rating. In addition, the proceedings contains a consensus statement for the definition of idiopathic short stature, which was drawn up on the basis of expert discussions. These reports are both useful and interesting for all those involved in the care of children with growth disorders.
