    Abstract:
    From 1968--1978 a longitudinal study was performed concerning development of height, weight and skinfold thickness in 709 boys and 711 girls 1.5--16 years old. Increase in height during time studied amounted to 92 cm in boys and 82 cm in girls. Mean increases in weight amounted to 49.3 kg and 41.2 kg respectively. Boys had highest increase in growth from 13 to 15 years, girls from 11 to 13 years. Skinfold has been thicker in girls than in boys. Triceps Skinfolds had been ped wave-like in both sexes. Following an unchanged decreased phase, the skinfolds remaining developed its thickness constantly. The phase of stagnation paralleled time of highest increase in growth.
