Sexual dimorphism in newborns and adults.

Studies in human ecology - 1 Jan 1992

Antoszewska A, Wolański N

Abstract excerpt

A total of 1034 newborns were used to analyze sexual dimorphism with respect to 37 somatic traits and ratios between them, describing body shape. Arithmetic means and standard deviations were calculated for both sexes. Similarly, sexual dimorphism of adults was analyzed. Sexual differences in newborns were statistically significant for most measurements but only for some body proportions (relative chest size,...
