The onset of pubertal growth spurt began between the ages of 8 and 13 in girls and 10 and 15 in boys. According to age at pubertal growth spurt onset, subjects were allocated to the corresponding 1-year-interval age maturity group: very early, early, intermediate, late, and very late. ...
We hypothesized that both height and the age of onset of the pubertal growth spurt (PGS) are correlated to final height. Methods: The height measurements of 335 children (162 girls) were analyzed in an observational retrospective study. The age and height at the onset of the PGS were ...
Finally, regular medically induced menses occurred at the age of 21 years and 10 months. Her height increased by 9 cm in 1 year after the initiation of menstrual bleeding. Kaufmann therapy was associated not only with menstrual bleeding but also with growth spurt....
If several measurements of height during pubertal growth are available, the timing of the pubertal growth spurt (age at the peak height velocity [PHV]) can be used as an objective assessment of pubertal timing. Age at PHV is the age at the maximum growth velocity during puberty and occurs ...
Growth outcomes in adolescents and adults with Silver-Russell syndrome and the effects of childhood growth hormone treatment Both boys had premature adrenarche around the age of 6. Precocious puberty was diagnosed in both boys with enlargement of testicular volume (>3 mL), signs of virilization an...
In boys, pubertal spurt was delayed and shorter than normal, but continued with a velocity greater than normal for some years and kept on after 19 years of age. The ultimate height of the patients followed up after 19 years of age ranged within the normal limits of genetic height potential...
The aim of our study was to determine if the age at onset of pubertal growth spurt (OGS) and at peak height velocity (PHV) during puberty show secular trends during four decades in a large cohort of school children. Methods and Findings Annual measurements of height were available in all ...
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental endocrine disruptor and is found in many consumer products. Studies suggest that BPA may perturb pubertal development, although evidence on BPA-influenced pubertal height growth is scarce. A total of 754 children age
Relative bone age was retarded in prepubertal (-0.42 vs 0.32 SD) and accelerated in pubertal patients (0.54 vs -0.19 SD). CONCLUSIONS: Children with hydrocephalus experience slow linear growth in prepuberty, but they have an earlier adolescent growth spurt. Together these factors result in a ...
We describe peculiar aspects of growth and the pubertal growth spurt in dysmorphic syndromes, focusing our attention on the accelerated pubertal growth pattern in some dysmorphic syndromes leading to short stature (DSS). A normal pubertal growth spurt was observed in other dysmorphic syndromes leading ...
