A historical review of anthropometric studies conducted on Turkish children and adults is presented. In view of observed differences in growth status between children of different societies, the need for local reference standards and the methodology to be used for such studies have been stressed. The importance of local studies in reflecting the state of health and nutrition both in children and adults has also been mentioned. While a number of studies in children cited in this paper are designed to compare the growth of children from different socioeconomic levels, other studies aim to establish local reference data for Turkish children. While the historical studies in adults aim to define racial characteristics, the more recent studies aim to bring out nutritional characteristics with emphasis on increasing frequency of obesity.Conflict of interest:None declared.
ÖzetTurner sendromu(TS) dişi fenotipi ile ilişkili bir seks kromozom bozukluğudur. X kromozomonun tamamının ya da bir kısmının kaybı kraniyofasiyal dokuların biçim ve boyutunu etkilemektedir. TS hastaların ağız bulgularına ilişkin çalışmalar göstermiştir ki; derin kapanış, açık kapanış, çapraşıklık, diastema, sınıf II maloklüzyon gibi ortodontik anomaliler ve konjenital eksik ve fazla dişler, azalmış dental kuron genişliği, anormal dişler gibi dental anomaliler daha sıklıkla gözlenmektedir. TS hastalarda çürük, çekilmiş ve dolgulu diş değeri daha yüksek olmasına karşın periodontal problem daha yüksektir. TS hastalarda dentofasiyal bulgular diş hekimlerinin erken tanıya katkıda bulunabilmesi için önemlidir.
