[Biological development of adolescents from rural areas, students of the School of Agriculture].

The paper contains the data on 15 somatic traits of 224 pupils of the Secondary School of Agriculture in Warsaw Voivodship, the time of menarche in girls was also noted. As compared with rural youth as a whole, their height and weight were found to be greater which is probably due to their superior living conditions. In comparison with their contemporaries living in Warsaw, their height and weight were found to be inferior while their body proportions were different. In girls, menarche appeared to have been delayed as compared with both Warsaw girls and rural girls generally throughout Poland.

[Sexual dimorphism of the somatic characteristics of Warsaw's children and adolescents in the light of secular trends].

Somatic development of two populations of Warsaw children and adolescents aged 3-18 years examinated in 1958/59 and 1976/80 years was compared. The following anthropometric measurements were taken into consideration: height, weight, trunk length, lower extremity length, biacromial diameters, chest breadth, chest depth, chest circumference and subscapular skinfold. Secular trend strongly expressed in boys than in girls was observed. The differences in age groups and certain somatic characteristic were found.

[Centile charts of body height, body weight and skinfold thickness of Warsaw's children and adolescents from birth to 18 years of age].

The tables and centile charts of height, weight and thickness of 3 skinfolds of Warsaw children from birth up to the age of 18 are presented. The data was collected in the years 1976-80. The results were compared with the data of the 60s for Warsaw children and with present figures for urban children from other towns of Poland. The acceleration of growth of Warsaw children has been established and it was stated that they were the tallest of all Polish children.

[Use of the RWT method for predicting final adult body height in boys of short stature].

On the empirical data of body height of 75 healthy short stature boys, the comparison using Roche, Weiner and Thiessen (RWT) method for predicting adult stature was conducted. There are no significant differences between real and predicted body height, since body height of normal short boys aged 18-19 years was in agreement with the stature predicted retrospectively in the age 10-15 years. American RWT method for predicting final adult stature may be used for Polish boys with hypostatura simplex.

[The influence of the menarche on the extent of selected somatic characteristics of Warsaw girls].

The objective of this work was to establish whether the higher level of physical development observed in 13-year old girls as compared with their coevals of 15 years earlier, was due to the earlier maturing of the former, hence to a greater share of menstruating girls in that group. A comparison of the levels of development of selected somatic characteristics and the distribution of frequency of body height in the menstruating and non-menstruating groups, indicates that the secular trend is independent of menarche.

[Centile charts of cephalometric characteristics of Warsaw's children from 1 month to 7 years of age].

The present study contains the centile charts and tables of the 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90 and 95 centiles values of the 5 fundamental head dimensions: head length (g-op), head breadth (eu-eu), face height (n-gn), face breadth ( zy - zy ), and cephalic index (formula see text). They are elaborated on the basis of Warsaw children sample in the age from 1 month to 7 years of life. They are a great value for pediatric clinical diagnosis.

[Somatic characteristics of Warsaw children, 3 1/2 to 7 years old (authors's transl)].

Anthropometric measurements of 1031 children, 3 1/2 to 7 years old, were carried out in Warsaw in 1970. The data collected characterize the present state of the physical development of Warsaw children in the aforesaid age interval. Arithmetic means and standard deviations were calculated for 13 somatic traits (body height) and weight, length of lower and upper extremities; length of the trunk; shoulder and hip width; chest circumference, width and depth, head circumference; width of distal femoral epiphysis, and subscapular skinfold) (Tables I to V). They have become the basis for drawing diagrams for the graphic method of assessing the level of development of these traits. Besides, the differences between the somatic traits found by examining Warsaw children in 1959, and the traits obtained in 1970 were analysed (Fig. 1 and 2). It results from this analysis that the children examined in 1970 were taller and heavier, and that there were also differences between the other parameters. This justifies the need to bring data of this kind up-to-date. A comparison of the body height and weight of children of Warsaw, and those of two other Polish cities (Lublin and Szczecin) and of rural children (Fig. 11 and 12) show a considerable predominance of Warsaw children; this confirms the necessity to work out regional standards of somatic development.
