1 Normal growth and techniques of growth assessment
The shape of the human growth curve is described and illustrated. Growth studies may be longitudinal, cross-sectional, mixed longitudinal or linked-lo…
SPL gradually increased from infancy till 9 years of age in our study; similar findings and values have been previously reported by other studies.[5],[12] However, some studies [4],[13],[14],[15],[16] have reported slightly higher values. There has been a notable increment in SPL in studies by Park et al. (n = 909)[16] at 13–14 years, Tomova et al. (n = 6200)[12] at 12 years, and by Fujieda et al. (n = 420)[13] at 11–12 years. We found a gradual and progressive increment in SPL till the age of 18 years. Gabrich et al.[17] reported RSL max (real length of flaccid penis fully stretched) of 5.1 ± 0.8, 7.4 ± 1.1, and 14.5 ± 1.6 cm at 1, 10, and 18 years, respectively, which is much higher than current and most other studies. This variation may be attributed to methodology, geography, and ethnic differences.
very helpful, comparison with other studies
