30名营养不良和30名营养良好的女孩的骨骼成熟的进展，从幼儿期到成年早期。通过每6个月拍摄一次左手的X线片和每3个月测量一次身高来评估进展情况。慢性营养不良减缓了骨骼生长和骨骼成熟的速度，推迟了月经初潮，延长了生长期。在初潮之前，对生长中的骨骼的阻滞作用最为明显。两组之间的成年身高没有明显差异，因为营养不良女孩的生长时间较长，显然平衡了营养良好女孩的生长速度较快。
The skeletal maturational progress of 30 undernourished and 30 well-nourished girls was followed from early childhood to early adulthood. Progress was evaluated from radiographs of the left hand taken every 6 months and from height measurements taken every 3 months. Chronic undernutrition slowed the rate of both skeletal growth and skeletal maturation, delayed menarche, and prolonged the growth period. The retarding influence on the growing skeleton was most pronounced before menarche. There was no appreciable difference in adult height between groups as the longer growth time of the undernourished girls apparently balanced the faster growth rate of the well-nourished girls.
