- Abstract
Out of 300 Prague children followed-up longitudinally, 178 (half boys and half girls) remained after 20 years of study. Individual growth curves were analysed according to a Swiss model (Stutzle et al., 1976). After the individual curves were smoothed out, 15 parametres which put each curve well under control, were ascertained in each of them. These parametres were further treated statistically for the whole sample, separately for boys and separately for girls. The results will contribute to a better knowledge of the course of development of contemporary children and youths and will serve the paediatricians, paedagogues, and anthropologists in assessing growth in individual on the background of a wide variation of growth and maturation of healthy children of both sexes.
