Comparative Analysis of Anthropometric Parameters of the Head of Children with Hypertrophy of Adenoids

Abstract

Anthropometry in comparison with other research methods has the advantage that it is an inexpensive, easy-to-use and relatively non-invasive method. The limitations of this approach are the need for cooperation, wasting time for data collection. In this study, anthropometric data of healthy children and children with hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsils were analyzed and compared. The data obtained show that the proliferation of adenoids to one degree or another affects normal development skulls of a young organism.
