We have calculated these standards in the dependence upon the âge. In order to correct the relative large scale of the span variability in the individual âge catégories we have used two-thirds values of the conclusive déviation (0,67 Sx). This déviation helped us in delimitating individual inean zones. For better illustration we have tabulated and presented in figures the developing curve in the type standard zones. Also the cross-sectional type standards were drawn up. We should like to point to the known fact that the growth culmination, especially in adolescent children is inostly characterized by its high individual variability. Consequently, it may come about that the prématuré growing up children in the controlled population may reach the upper extreme zone, and on 97
