Evaluation of the Association between Blood Pressure and Birth Weight: A Cross-Sectional Study on 600 Outpatient Children

Abstract

In order for a living being to grow, it needs building substances that it gets through food. Food also provides the necessary energy for dividing cells. Organisms grow by increasing the number of their cells. Cells first enlarge, and then divide. Auxology as a branch of biological anthropology studies human growth and development as a reflection of biological processes and the action of socioeconomic factors.
