Adolescence is a period which is characterized by rapid physical growth and development of secondary sex characteristics. Male adolescence begins at 11-12 years of age and lasts approximately 5 years. During this interval, there is a growth spurt period which is observed any time between 11 and 16 years of age, lasting 2-3 years. Some authors claim that a male may have nearly 20-25% of his adult height and 50% of his adult weight during adolescence. When evaluating the maturational aspects of adolescence, it is essential to consider bone age (BA) as well as chronological age (CA). Bone age is the mean CA at which the skeletal maturation is normally attained. It is influenced by genetic, endocrinological and nutritional factors. An adolescent may not demonstrate the expected maturational steps if his BA is retarded. This report examines the relationship between CA, biological maturation and some anthropometrical measurements.
