Several important points should be emphasized in connection with the comparisons of the metabolism of youths and adults on all bases of comparison as indicated in figures 48, 50, and 51.

Several important points should be emphasized in connection with the comparisons of the metabolism of youths and adults on all bases of comparison as indicated in figures 48, 50, and 51. One is the quite remarkable coincidence of the extension of the line for boys with that laid down for men, an agreement that is somewhat less striking in the case of the girls and women. The data for the higher-weight boys and lower-weight men, and particularly the higher-weight girls and lower-weight women, are still altogether too few to consider this part of the curves as clearly established.

Finally, empha- sis must again be laid upon the fact that all of these lines represent at best only general trends, particularly with From a consideration of all of the charts in which the metabolism curves for boys and men on the one hand and girls and women on the other are compared, it is evident that the metabolism of boys and men is for practically the entire period of life perceptibly and con- 1 See page 132 for description of method of sketching Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Institution of Washington.
