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.
