Abstract
Nonagreement between chronological and physiological age can be the cause of abnormal behavior of specific variance of longitudinal skeletal measurements at the end of puberty. The greater specific variability of the lower arm girth and the upper arm skinfold after rather than in puberty can be ascribed to the differentiating infulence of physical training and to the differentiation of morphological types. Generally, the lower arm diameter is not a good measurement of any latent dimension named as skeletal transversality. The very small uniquities of weight in both sexes and in all ages are one more proof that body mass can very well be approximated by linear combination of a small number of latent dimensions, which enables the construction of rational indexes of "ideal" body weight.
