Abstract

The existence of adolescent growth spurts (PHV, Peak Height Velocity) has long been the norm for human height growth theory. However, according to Ohsawa's report, the hunter-gatherer Mlaburi, who lived in the forests of Thailand and Laos, did not see the adolescent growth spurt of their stature. The study reexamined this issue from growth data for the hunter-gatherer Salone (Moken) living in the Andaman Waters of Myanmar. As a result, similar to Mlabri, the adolescent growth spurt (PHV) could not be observed in Salone. The growth period of Salone was very long, and stature continued to grow to nearly 20 years of age.
