Prepubertal height velocity references over a wide age range.
In order to correct height velocities for the confounders age and sex, SD scores can be calculated using the mean and the SD of the height velocity in the normal population. However, current methods are inappropriate for prepubertal children in the age range in which puberty occurs, because reference groups then consist of a mixed prepubertal/pubertal population. The mathematical infancy-childh...

متن کاملThe effect of prepubertal calcium carbonate supplementation on the age of peak height velocity in Gambian adolescents1234
BACKGROUND Limited evidence suggests that calcium intake before puberty influences adolescent height growth and the timing of puberty. Such an effect might be particularly marked in populations in whom low calcium intake, stunting, and delayed puberty are common. OBJECTIVE The objective was to test whether 12 mo of calcium supplementation at age 8-12 y to increase intakes toward international...
متن کاملModelling 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. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Methods included the Preece ...
متن کاملModeling brain circuitry over a wide range of scales
If we are ever to unravel the mysteries of brain function at its most fundamental level, we will need a precise understanding of how its component neurons connect to each other. Electron Microscopes (EM) can now provide the nanometer resolution that is needed to image synapses, and therefore connections, while Light Microscopes (LM) see at the micrometer resolution required to model the 3D stru...
