Cross-population analysis of the growth of long bones and the Os coxae of three early medieval Austrian populations
Article Abstract:
Growth curves of the upper and lower extremities of additional archaeological populations and modern North-American population are assessed and bone measurements are analyzed against dental age estimates. The results show differences between bones in the extent of inter-population variability, with diaphyseal long-bone growth showing equivalent patterns across the four populations.

Impact of maternal age and maternal somatic characteristics on newborn size
Article Abstract:
Age, prepregnancy weight, and pregnancy weight gain are significantly associated with pregnancy outcome for mothers aged 12 to 16. Within term births in the context of psychosocial support, children born to younger mothers tended to be significantly lighter and smaller than those born to more mature women.

Somatic comparisons at four ages of South Korean females and females of other Asian groups
Article Abstract:
Somatic data from 156 South Korean females aged 6, 9, 13, and 15 years are discussed in relation to age differences and urban-rural differences and in comparison to other Asian groups. Somatic variables include body size and form, skinfold thicknesses, body mass index, and arm muscle area.
