Total 13214 height velocity measurements (7724 on boys). Outcome MeasuresHeight velocity percentiles (3rd, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th and 97th) constructed using LMS chart maker. ResultsAge- and gender-specific height velocity percentiles were generated. Median height velocity in girls decreased...
Greater decreases in HDL-C, LpA-I, and LpA-I:A-II with age in boys is attributed to gender-specific hormonal changes. The early onset of HDL lowering in these Native American children and adolescents, particularly boys, warrants intervention strate- gies to prevent obesity and associated ...
Background: Sitting height (StH) percentiles are not described for the Indian paediatric population. Aim: To generate multicentre StH percentile values for Indian children. Subjects and methods: A total of 7961 apparently healthy children (3–17 years old, Boys: 4328) randomly selected from 10...
The mean Z-scores of height, weight, and body mass index on follow-up for the cohort were 7.0 ± 1.6, 5.9 ± 2.8, and 0.1 ± 0.7, respectively, and they were within ± 2 SD of the mean for children in LS chart. The median basal growth hormone level for age wa...
Boys represented 54% (n = 2442) of the overall sample. The prevalence of myopia at baseline was 11.7% (95% CI from 10.8 to 12.7%) in these three grades. Both the AL and AL/CR ratio centiles showed a linear trend with an increase in AL and AL/CR with increasing grades (p < ...
The median age at diagnosis was 119 months (IQR: 75,156 months) and there was a predominance of boys (74.9%). At diagnosis, the most common clinical presentations were recurrent fever (87 children, 49.7%) and failure to thrive (70 children, 40%). Only 15% of HIV-infected children, ...
