Abstract
A group of boys, who initially comprised the participants at one of the Leeds middle schools, was studied with regard to skeletal development, and certain aspects of this study have already been reported (Buckler 1984). Approval for this radiological investigation was obtained from the local research ethics committee and the parents of the participating children, as well as from the Medical Research Council (with the proviso that the X-rays were not taken more frequently than once a year and then only on boys over 12 years of age).
