Evaluation of Methods of Determining Indicators of Physical Development of Children and Adolescents in the Population
Main Article Content
Abstract
he evaluation of methods of determining indicators of physical development in children and adolescents is an important aspect of population-based research. This scientific article presents a comprehensive review of various methods used to evaluate physical development in this population, including anthropometric measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The article discusses the advantages and limitations of each method and their applicability in different settings. The importance of accurate and reliable indicators of physical development in children and adolescents cannot be overstated, as they provide critical information for assessing health and wellbeing, monitoring growth, and identifying potential health risks. This article aims to provide researchers, clinicians, and public health practitioners with a better understanding of the various methods available for evaluating physical development indicators in children and adolescents and their implications for improving health outcomes.
