Auxology - an editorial Michael Hermanussen Barry Bogin 2134/15126 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/Auxology_-_an_editorial/9617468 Auxology (Greek alphaupsilonxiomega - I let grow) is the science of human growth and development. Significant public interest focuses on questions like: how does my child grow? How did our ancestors grow? How do other people around the world grow? Are there advantages to being tall and disadvantages to being short? Am I too fat? And many questions are related to the treatment of growth failure. 2014-07-04 14:14:33 Auxology Human growth Body height Developmental tempo Community Medical and Health Sciences not elsewhere classified
