Definición

  • The Tanner Stages, also known as the Tanner Scale, are a method of describing the physical development of human beings from their time as children through adolescence and to adulthood. This is based on an examination of external primary and secondary sex characteristics, and is important to measure puberty and other developments, as well as work out what form of medication to prescribe for some treatments such as for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), as puberty may occur at different ages in different people.
