Abstract
We describe here a new technique for analyzing human growth curves using a first order kinetic representation. Plotting in [ (h ∞−h t) h ∞ ]vs time (where h ∞ and h t represent the final and instataneous heights) transforms growth curves into 3 linear phases and 2 interphases. These growth parameters can be quantitatively compared between normal individuals of the same gender, between different sexes, and between individuals of normal and aberrant growth. This analysis provides a new classification of dwarfism.
