Handbook of Growth and Growth Monitoring in Health and Disease
Growth entails the development of parts or all of a living being, from conception
to maturity. The pattern of growth is not uniform and each body region has its
own distinct growth characteristics. This is clearly illustrated by the typical growth
spurts in boys and girls, driven by the endocrine changes accompanying puberty.
However, patterns of growth are perturbed when there are changes in metabolism
or physiology as well as adverse conditions such as disease, malnutrition, and overt
endocrine imbalance. In some populations the general prevailing patterns of growth
and development are quite distant from the normal ranges documented by international
organizations. Superficial interpretation may indicate that such apparent adverse
patterns may be environmental in origin, but genetic predisposition may also impact
on growth. Thus a significant number of factors are responsible for the differences
between how children should grow and how children actually grow into mature adults.
The human body has an inherent capacity to compensate for abnormalities by “catchup
growth” to predetermined levels. However, this realignment to normality does not
occur in every individual, and perturbations in growth may have long-term or lifelong
implications. Because of these implications, abnormalities in organ, tissue, or
whole-body development need to be characterized, measured, defined, and treated.
There is also cross-transferable information to be applied from one country or disease
to another country or disease. In other words, information on growth is uniquely
applicable across many spheres. However, specific information about, characteristics
of, and methods for monitoring and describing normal and abnormal growth must be
highly detailed, preferably in a cohesive reference. Handbook of Growth and Growth
Monitoring in Health and Disease was designed to address these needs. All facets and
features of growth are described in 15 sections.
The chapters are written by national or international experts who are specialists in
their field. Each chapter is self-contained. Sometimes experts in one field are novices
in another. To bridge this knowledge divide the authors have incorporated sections
on applications to other areas of health and disease, practical methods and techniques,
guidelines, and key points or features. The summary points presented in bullet
form are designed for easier intellectual digestion. This book is for clinical scientists,
researchers, doctors, nurses, physiologists, nutritionists and dietitians, public health
scientists, epidemiologists, health workers and practitioners, exercise physiologists,
physiotherapists, university faculty, undergraduates, and graduates. It is also designed
for policy makers and health economists.
