From gender, age, height and bone age, it predicts the adult height. Optionally, one can enter parental height, which improves the accuracy. The uncertainties of the predictions of adult height are given as a standard deviation (±SD), i.e. the true values will be within the indicated ran...
Age FactorsMultiple regression equations for predicting the adult height of boys and girls from height and bone age at ages 4 and upwards are presented. There is a separate equation for each half year of chronological age; and for pre- and postmenarcheal girls at ages 11 to 14. These are ...
Bone age Bone age is a way of describing the degree of maturation of a child's bones. As a person grows from fetal life through childhood, puberty, and
agirls who had the most significant compromise of predicted adult height, as detected by a larger deviation from the population (Z-score) and the most considerable advance in bone age, received benefit from GnRHa therapy, and they must not be excluded from the group to be treated. 有被预言...
The root mean square deviation between the predicted and the observed adult height was 2.8 cm for boys in the bone age range 6-15 years and 3.1 cm for girls in the bone age range 6-13 years. The bias (the average signed difference) was zero, except for girls below bone age 12, ...
At start of therapy, mean chronologic age of these 40 children was 6.6±1.4 (SD) years, mean bone age 10.2±1.9 years. Mean predicted adult height increased in the boys from 173.6±13.8 (SD) cm at start of therapy to 184.6±17.0 cm after 3 years. Predicted adult height increased in ...

Predicted adult heights (PAH) were calculated and compared to mid-parental target height (TH). Results: Of 427 patients, 266 (62%) had PA (82% female). Of the 121 with BA, 30.6% had very advanced BA (≥2 years) and this group was taller (Ht SD+1.72 vs. +0.72, p<0.00001) and...
The average height within each decade of age in our cohort (Table 2; females = 1.62–1.64 m, males = 1.75–1.79 m) matches that of the U.S. White adult population (females = 1.62 m, males = 1.77 cm) (Fryar et al., 2021). The comparable height provides confidence that our ...
148 Patients with KS exhibit lower BMD than matched healthy people, which can be predicted by muscle mass, a history of testosterone treatment, age at diagnosis and bone markers.149 Notably, a cross-sectional study showed that the bone mass phenotype in patients with KS was not associated with...
