A single logistic curve was fitted to serial data for three cranial base lengths (S-N, Ba-N, and Ba-S) in 33 boys and 26 girls. Elongation during pubescence plus adolescence is greater in boys than girls for each length. The maximum rate of pubescent elongation occurs earliest in Ba-N. There are no consistent sex differences in the maximum rates of elongation but they occur considerably earlier in girls. Similarly, girls reach 95% of their adult lengths at younger ages than boys.
对33名男孩和26名女孩的三个颅底长度（蝶鞍-鼻根点、颅底点-鼻根点和颅底点-蝶鞍）的系列数据拟合了一条单一的逻辑曲线。青春期加青少年期的生长在每个长度上男孩都比女孩大。青春期生长的最大速率在颅底点-鼻根点出现得最早。生长最大速率上没有一致的性别差异，但女孩出现得要早得多。同样，女孩比男孩在更小的年龄达到其成人长度的95%。
