Growth in stature and head and face measurements in Dutch children aged 7 to 14.

Abstract

THERE are few recent Dutch data for any measurements other than those of stature and weight. Growth changes in the head and face can be studied by craniometrie, anthropometric, roentgenometric and photogrammetric investigations. In this paper we deal with anthropometric methods ; in another paper with the results of a photogrammetric analysis (Hautvast 1971). In the Netherlands Steggerda (1932), Piebenga (1942), and Notschaele (1961) carried out measurements of head and face. Steggerda published the results of an investigation of, inter alia , the dimensions of head and face in adult Dutch men and women, partly residing in Michigan and partly in Amsterdam. He observed that, in general, the dimensions of the American Dutch were slightly greater than those of the European Dutch. Piebenga investigated schoolchildren, adolescents and adults living on the small Dutch island of Urk. The research of Notschaele was carried out on 11and 12-year-old Dutch boys and girls who lived in the North-East Polder, a part of the recently reclaimed Zuyder Zee. He observed that at both ages dimensions of the head and face were mostly significantly larger in boys than in girls. Other studies, giving information about head dimensions in Dutch schoolchildren, are from Frets (1921), Nyessen (1929), and Lammers (1950). Valuable comparative data (on American children) are given by Hellman (1932), Goldstein (1936, 1939), Meredith and Knott (1962); on German children by Wunsche (1953) ; on English by Provis and Ellis (1955) ; on Italian by Galli (1960) ; on Czech by Dokladal (1959) ; on Finnish by Haataja (1963) ; on Eussian by Miklashevskaya (1966, 1969).
