Circaseptennial rhythm in ear growth

Recently, Heathcote reported enduring growth in the ears of male patients (on average 0.22 mm a year in patients aged 30 or over).1 Our previous work had made us aware of the existence of a circaseptennial (about seven years) rhythm in certain developmental aspects of the human skull.2 We therefore decided to examine the data of Heathcote for a possible seven year periodicity in ear growth.

For every age we calculated the mean ear length from Heathcote's raw data. We produced an uninterrupted sequence of yearly ear length values from the age of 30 to 83 (data were missing at certain ages above the age of 83). …
