Attained mean heights, weights and skeletal maturity assessed by the TW2 method of well-off North Indian (Chandigarh) children ranging in age from 6 years to 12 years (96 girls) and 14 years (202 boys), were compared with British Standards. The mean height of girls remained close to the 50th centile and their weights to the 25th centile. Boys' mean heights and weights were close to the 50th centile up to age 9 years; later they slowly shifted to the 25th. Girls' RUS skeletal maturity remained between the 50th and 75th centiles of the British standards while boys, though having a tendency to be advanced at certain ages, were practically at par with the British 50th centile. The pattern of carpal maturity was different; girls reached full carpal maturity at the same age as British girls, but boys showed retardation.
对年龄在6岁至12岁的富裕北印度（昌迪加尔）儿童（96名女孩）和14岁儿童（202名男孩），采用TW2方法评估其达到的平均身高、体重和骨骼成熟度，并与英国标准进行比较。女孩的平均身高接近第50百分位数，体重接近第25百分位数。男孩的平均身高和体重在9岁前接近第50百分位数；之后逐渐缓慢降至第25百分位数。女孩的RUS骨骼成熟度保持在英国标准的第50至75百分位数之间，而男孩虽然在某些年龄段有提前的趋势，但实际上与英国第50百分位数相当。腕骨成熟模式有所不同；女孩与英国女孩在相同年龄达到完全腕骨成熟，但男孩表现出延迟。
