Auxology
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Auxology, in this context, is a generic term for the study of human growth. It has become a multi-disciplinary science involving medicine (pediatrics, growth and development, endocrinology, physiology, and since the body is a system, everything else), nutrition, genetics, anthropology, anthropometry, history, economics, socioeconomics.
