The pattern of long bone growth in Eskimo and Aleut juvenile skeletons reflects that in living Eskimos and Aleuts. There is a pre-adolescent growth spurt which is particularly intense in females. After age 14 male long bones supercede those of females in length. The characteristic Eskimo and Aleut adult body proportion is established early in childhood. Eskimos and Aleuts have shorter bones than whites at all ages. The difference in length of the forearm and lower leg in comparison with whites appears to increase especially at adolescence.
爱斯基摩人和阿留申青少年骨骼中长骨的生长模式反映了现存爱斯基摩人和阿留申人的情况。在青春期前有一个生长突增期，女性尤为明显。14岁以后，男性长骨在长度上超过女性。爱斯基摩人和阿留申人典型的成年人体型比例在儿童早期就已确立。爱斯基摩人和阿留申人在各年龄段的骨骼都比白人短。与白人相比，前臂和小腿长度的差异似乎尤其在青春期会增大。
