Book Description

In order to gain an understanding of the dynamics of human individual and average growth patterns it is essential that the right analytical methods are selected. This volume is a review of up-to-date methods used in human growth research. Aimed at junior and senior researchers in human biology, anthropology, epidemiology and paediatrics involved in the analysis of normal and pathological growth and development data at individual as well as population level, it provides a minimum of the mathematics behind the methods, and focuses on concepts, possibilities, limitations and applications.
