The first seriatim study of human growth

Abstract

TTVO FIGTJRESThe growth of the body in the living is commonly studied by one of two methods. Tlie first of these is the mass or crosssection method, by which physical measurements for a particular age or interval of development a r e taken, more or iess at random, from numerous members of R given population. The second is the individual, seriatim, or longi-section method, by which developmen tal changes a r e followed through successive measurements of the same subject os'er a considerable period. Each of these methods has its advantages and drawbacks ; but both are necessary for a proper understanding of liumaii growth.Tlie mass method has been used more extensirely than the individual method.

Validity and reliability of a method for assessment of cervical vertebral maturation

“…1,[14][15][16] When the first CVM method was developed in 1972, Lamparski 1 suggested that a longitudinal sample should be employed to eliminate much of the individual variation that was present in his study. The CVM method examined in this study was proposed through longitudinal data with reference to mandibular growth.…”

Connection between Growth/Development and Mathematical Function

“…In the trend of auxologic study including growth study, individual tracking and seriatim study have been focused on as Scammon (1927) mentioned. In Europe, Boas (1930Boas ( ) (1932 emphasized the necessity of studies through longitudinal data.…”

“…Universal principles in growth cannot be explained unless the change rate of aging is scientifi cally analyzed. Scammon (1927), famous for his classical study on growth, exemplifi ed two methods for clarifying the actual process of growth phenomena; one is to treat many cross-sectional collective data, and the other is to continually track an individual subject. Today, these ideas imply cross-sectional and longitudinal data, respectively.…”

Relation between Frontal Sinus Morphology and the Cervical Vertebral Maturation for the Evaluation of the Skeletal Maturity among Solapur Population: A Cross Sectional Study

“…Skeletal maturation is more closely related to sexual maturity than to stature. [1][2][3][4][5] Chronologic age fails to provide an accurate diagnosis of the growth status of a child, since children of the same chronologic age usually have variable degrees of skeletal maturation. 6 The classic parameters include changes in body height and weight, appearance of secondary sexual characteristics, chronologic age, tooth mineralization and calcification and skeletal maturation.…”
