The regulation of growth is complex and besides metabolic and endocrine components including hypothalamic releasing factors, growth hormone and multiple downstream effectors, comprises the full spectrum of the psychosocial, economic and emotional environment including signaling dominance, competence, prestige, or subordination and indulgence, all of this being sensitive to urban or rural lifestyle, the political climate and with marked plasticity throughout history. New statistical techniques (St. Nicolas House Analysis) are presented for analyzing anthropometric variables for public health concerns. The impact of spatial differences on developmental tempo, growth in height, and the prevalence of childhood obesity are discussed as well as the impact of social mobility on obesity, and the benefits of the biopsychosocial status when getting along with socio-economic disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>}, journal={Human Biology and Public Health}, author={Hermanussen, Michael and Scheffler, Christiane and Wilke, Liza and Böker, Sonja and Groth, Detlef and Kirchengast, Sylvia and Hagmann, Dominik and Lebedeva, Lidia and Godina, Elena and Gomula, Aleksandra and et al.}, year={2022}, month={Sep.} }
