Postnatal ontogeny of tibia and femur form in two human populations: A multivariate morphometric analysis

29 Sept 2011

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Adult population differences in relative and absolute limb size often are explained as adaptations to different climates. Less is known about other aspects of limb bone form and their population-specific growth patterns. METHODS: We study postnatal ontogenetic development of tibial and femoral form by a multivariate morphometric approach in a cross-sectional sample of South African (N = 97) and...
