This study updates the heights and weights of sexually mature and immature girls aged 13, 14 and 15 years in the Tasmanian Longitudinal Growth Study. Problems arose when their heights and weights were plotted on the NHMRC standard distributions (1970-1972 NSW percentiles) in order to assess whether or not they were normal. The current NHMRC standards are not adequate for adolescent girls and should be replaced by separate charts for mature and immature girls, respectively.
本研究更新了塔斯马尼亚纵向生长研究中13、14和15岁性成熟和未成熟女孩的身高和体重数据。当将她们的身高和体重绘制在NHMRC标准分布（1970 - 1972年新南威尔士州百分位数）上以评估其是否正常时，出现了问题。当前的NHMRC标准不适用于青春期女孩，应该分别用成熟和未成熟女孩的单独图表来取代。
