A recent study by Cole and Wright reports a height prediction chart that could provide a simple and unbiased estimate of adult height for children of all ages. 鈥doi:10.1136/bmj.d6032Wit, J. M.Oostdijk, W.BMJBMJ (online)Wit JM, Oostdijk W. Predicting adult height from a child's ...
Recombinant human growth hormone (GH) is approved for treatment of children with idiopathic short stature, and endocrinologists often depend on algorithms to predict adult height. Because algorithm performance often is included in treatment decisions, we sought to evaluate agreement among height prediction...

Accuracy of Adult Children in Predicting Older Parent Quality of Life Valuations (S782)When people have a serious life-limiting illness, physical symptoms are often prominent, both in the experience of the illness and in its treatment. No less important, however, are psychological symptoms. A ...
Obese children under three years of age without obese parents are at low risk for obesity in adulthood, but among older children, obesity is an increasingly important predictor of adult obesity, regardless of whether the parents are obese. Parental obesity more than doubles the risk of adult ...
The aim of this study is to determine correlations and to compare between five prediction methods of the adult height among volleyball female players aged from 10 to 12 years (10.80±0.58 years). Sixteen volleyball female players animating the National Sport Games final (Algiers 2012) participated...
Children aged between 12 and 15 were excluded since individuals in these ages would likely be in the middle of puberty during which peak growth in height is most likely to occur27. Subjects older than 40 years old were not included to avoid including persons with age-related degeneration of ...

Specifically, this research innovates the field in three ways. First, the proposed risk prediction model applies to the adolescent population, while currently developed CVD risk calculators only apply to the adult population. Second, while the statistical expectations of the currently used CVD risk ca...
