Document Summary

Used to estimate rate of brain growth (infants and young children) Measures legs and trunk with regards to total height. Sitting height = 60-70% total height (early years) Sitting height = 50% (once mature height is reached) Increase length of legs and trunk, decrease ratio. <12 years, 50-60% overall height increase due to leg growth. After puberty, females have shorter legs than makes the same height as them. Males begin broadening shoulders relative to hips (ratio increases) Females broaden hips relative to shoulders (ratio decreases) Body typing is difficult (changing proportions and compositions) 3 general somatotypes (sheldon method: soft, sound, tend forwards overweight or obese, well-defined, muscular, balanced proportions, lean and long. Decrease in height and body deterioration leads to altered proportions as well. Height increases the most prenatally and in 1st year. After age 2, slows to increased of inches/year until pubertal growth spurt. Small increases in height possible into adulthood (1/8 = inch)
