Yet at the individual and population levels, growth patterns are sensitive to adverse conditions, genetic predispositions, and environmental changes. And despite the body's capacity to compensate for these developmental setbacks, the effects may be far-reaching, even life-long. The \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Growth and Growth Monitoring in Health and Disease\u003c\/i\u003e brings this significant and complex field together in one comprehensive volume: impact of adverse variables on growth patterns; issues at different stages of prenatal development, childhood, and adolescence; aspects of catch-up growth, endocrine regulation, and sexual maturation; screening and assessment methods; and international perspectives. Tables and diagrams, applications to other areas of health and disease, and summary points help make the information easier to retain. Together, over 180 self-contained chapters in 15 sections cover every area of human growth, including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntrauterine growth retardation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePostnatal growth in normal and abnormal situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCells and growth of tissues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensory growth and development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffects of disease on growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethods and standards for assessment of growth, and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Growth and Growth Monitoring in Health and Disease\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable addition to the reference libraries of a wide range of health professionals, among them health scientists, physicians, physiologists, nutritionists, dieticians, nurses, public health researchers, epidemiologists, exercise physiologists, and physical therapists.
