Chapter 3Chapter 3Physical Growth Changes


Overview of Physical Growth and Development Overview of Physical Growth and Development

• Growth during the prenatal stage

• Changes through the first year

• Growth spurt in early adulthood

• Regression in later adulthood

• The pubescent growth spurt represents the life span’s most dramatic period of biological change.

• Females 10 –13 years (menarche)

• Males 12 – 15 years

• Growth is relative to head size.

• At birth, the head is about ¼ the total length of the body.

• Soft and round in contour

Mesomorphy

• Well-defined muscularity and balanced body

Ectomorphy

Height• Average length is 20 inches

at birth

• Average of 50% increase in the first year

• Growth accelerates before and during puberty.

• Females complete peak growth before males do.

• Bone loss in women begins slowly during the third decade and can increase shortly before or after menopause.

• The total bone loss by age 70 is approx. 25–30%.

• Bone loss estimates for men at age 70 are about half of what women experience (12–15% by age 70).

SummarySummary

• The Developmental Continuum includes all changes from conception to death, “Although the first two decades of life are a period of significant growth increases, marked changes also occur during later stages of the aging process. In comparison to the other developmental stages of life, the prenatal period represents the greatest variation in human growth and development.” (Gabbard)

• In the later years of life, as we get older, people generally get shorter (bone mass) and lose muscle mass.
