This book provides the first normative reference values for Albanian adolescents, covering body height, weight, composition, and craniofacial dimensions. An essential tool for medical practitioners, sports scientists, and public health researchers.
This book provides the first comprehensive set of normative reference values for Albanian adolescents at the age of biological maturity. Drawing on a large and representative dataset, it establishes population-specific normative data for body height, weight, body composition, and craniofacial dimensions, and situates them within broader regional and international contexts.
The work addresses a long-standing gap in the scientific literature by supplying reference values that are essential for medical practitioners, sports scientists, physical educators, and researchers working in growth, development, and public health. Particular attention is given to gender and regional variations, enabling more precise assessments of adolescent health and maturity across the Albanian population.
