Modelling height in adolescence: a comparison of methods for estimating the age at peak height velocity
BACKGROUND Controlling for maturational status and timing is crucial in lifecourse epidemiology. One popular non-invasive measure of maturity is the age at peak height velocity (PHV). There are several ways to estimate age at PHV, but it is unclear which of these to use in practice. AIM To find the optimal approach for estimating age at PHV.

متن کاملOsteoporosis, falls, and age in fracture of the proximal femur.
The relative importance of osteoporosis and risk of falling in causing hip fracture is not known. Femoral neck bone mass was measured in 708 elderly people, all of whom had fallen and injured a hip. Below 75 years of age there was a steep increase in relative risk of fracture with reduced bone mass, measured by Singh grade. Above that age the increase in risk was small, and neuromuscular respon...
متن کاملPeak Weight and Height Velocity to Age 36 Months and Asthma Development: The Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study
BACKGROUND The immediate postnatal period is the period of the fastest growth in the entire life span and a critical period for lung development.
