The purpose of this research was to make an auxological study of the child population in Trento. The study was carried out in three stages: in the first stage standards were established for height and weight, i.e. "anthropometric models" to be used as a reference in the subsequent assessment of children from Trento using an auxological method; during the second stage the most suitable auxological method was selected and the levels of normality, paranormality and extranormality of the anthropomorphic features were calculated; in the third stage, the above-mentioned auxological method was used to assess the growth in height and weight of the individual subjects, taking into consideration the frequency and type of auxopathies in the Trento child population. As regards the first stage of the study, after measuring the height and weight of almost all the Trento children between the ages of 6-11, the average values were calculated and the relative standard deviations of height and weight at the different ages and the weight as compared to the different heights considered. The "experimental curves" obtained were then smoothed by calculating the equations of the technical development curves of the characters examined with the best fit procedure. The smoothed values are shown in Tables 2 and 4 and the corresponding curves are given in the graphs 1-6 (median curves with a dotted line). An examination of the data in Table 2 reveals that between 6 and 10 years, males surpass the females in height and in weight, whereas, starting from 10 years and 4 months, the mean height-weight values become greater in the females due to the earlier prepuberal-puberal auxological thrust which occurs in females. After the age of 13, as can be seen in similar auxological studies recently carried out by us in Trento adolescents aged 11-14 (Tonelli et al., 1988), when the auxological thrust also takes place in males, the height of the latter regains supremacy. The mean height and weight values measured by us in 1985 in Trento school-children aged between 6-11 was then compared with those found in their peers almost twenty years earlier (1966-67) by Bergamo et al. (1968), the increases in these features during the period considered was also calculated. This comparison revealed that during the aforementioned period there was a clear increase in somatic dimensions of Trento children at all the ages examined, which varied from approximately 37 cm for height to approximately 1.5-4 kg for weight.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
本研究的目的是对特伦托的儿童群体进行人体测量学研究。该研究分三个阶段进行：在第一阶段，确定身高和体重标准，即“人体测量模型”，以便在后续使用人体测量学方法评估特伦托儿童时作为参考；在第二阶段，选择最合适的人体测量学方法，并计算人体形态特征的正常、超正常和异常水平；在第三阶段，使用上述人体测量学方法评估个体受试者的身高和体重增长情况，同时考虑特伦托儿童群体中生长发育异常的频率和类型。关于研究的第一阶段，在测量了几乎所有6至11岁特伦托儿童的身高和体重后，计算了平均值以及不同年龄的身高和体重的相对标准差，以及与所考虑的不同身高相对应的体重。然后，通过用最佳拟合程序计算所检查特征的技术发育曲线方程，对获得的“实验曲线”进行平滑处理。平滑后的值列于表2和表4中，相应的曲线见图1 - 6（中位数曲线，用虚线表示）。对表2中的数据进行检查发现，在6至10岁之间，男性在身高和体重方面超过女性，而从10岁4个月开始，由于女性青春期前 - 青春期人体测量学发育的提前，女性的平均身高体重值变得更大。13岁以后，正如我们最近在11至14岁的特伦托青少年中进行的类似人体测量学研究（托内利等人，1988年）所示，当男性也进入人体测量学发育阶段时，男性的身高重新占据优势。然后，将我们在1985年测量的特伦托6至11岁学童的平均身高和体重值与贝加莫等人（1968年）近二十年前（1966 - 1967年）在他们同龄人中测得的值进行比较，还计算了在所考虑期间这些特征的增长情况。该比较表明，在上述期间，特伦托儿童在所有检查年龄组中的身体尺寸都有明显增加，身高增加约37厘米，体重增加约1.5至4千克。（摘要截取自400字）
