Predicted heights are usually within 4 inches, taller or shorter, than actual adult height. Medical conditions and other factors can affect a child's growth. Estimates are less accurate when parent heights are far from average and for children who are short for their age. ...
Height for age increased while body mass index for age remained stable between 1968 and 2007 among Guatemalan Children. J Nutr 2009;139:365-9.Stein AD, Wang M, Digirolamo A, Hoddinott J, Martorell R, Ramirez-Zea M, et al. Height for age increased while body mass index for age remained...
Promotion of optimal growth while preventing the emergence of obesity in childhood requires an understanding of the dynamics over time of linear growth and weight for height. To assess long-term secular trends in height-for-age and BMI for age in children 1.00 was 21.1% in 1968 and 19.6% in...
the regressive equations between child height SDS and MPH were fitted for the subsections of 2~9 years,skeletal age 10~16 in boys and 10~15 in girls,respectively.Conclusion The growth charts of Chinese children's height allowing for height of parents are useful in differential diagnosis of ...
Assessment of body composition by using a new chart method The body mass index (BMI, weight/height2), is commonly used as a simple and valid way of assessing body composition. However, the significance o... Komei,Hattori,Nobunao,... - 《American Journal of Human Biology》 被引量: 107...
Top of pageIntroduction Research Methods and Procedures Results Discussion Acknowledgments References Objective: We analyzed trends in height and BMI and their interaction in 6-year-old Chilean children over the last 15 years. Research Methods and Procedures: We calculated height for age z-score (HAZ...
The final height as well as the reduction in height was not linearly correlated with the age at diagnosis. The mean HbA1c level of the 44 children was 10.33 +/- 1.74%, boys had better control compared with girls (mean HbA1c 9.45 +/- 1.28 v.s. 10.71 +/- 1.78%, p = 0.013). The...

The preadolescent regression slope of about 0.26 kg LBM/cm height triples by age 16-18 years in boys, while merely doubling in girls. Inspection of Figure 3 also reveals that the slope of the individual regression lines is in most instances less than would be the slopes of successive ...
The results showed that the percent change in height-corrected TKV (HtTKV) over the 3-year period, following adjustment for age, sex, and hypertension status, was significantly decreased with pravastatin therapy11,12. Furthermore, in addition to limited therapy options, there is also still a ...
