Adult height, dietary patterns, and healthy aging. [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2017 Background: Adult height has shown directionally diverse associations with several age-related disorders, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, decline in cognitive function, and mortality.Objective: We investigated the associations of adult height with healthy aging measured by a full spectrum of health outcomes, including incidence of chronic ...

Adult height in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty treated with triptorelin [PDF]
Frontiers in EndocrinologyObjectiveIdiopathic central precocious puberty (CPP) precipitates epiphyseal fusion of growth plates in long bones, leading to reduced adult stature. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa) are the treatment of choice for idiopathic CPP, but ...

Blood-based DNA methylation captures variance in adult height [PDF]
Genome BiologyBackground While height is a highly heritable trait with strong polygenic prediction, previous studies have postulated that minimal variation of its individual differences can be captured by DNA methylation (DNAm). We investigated the role of blood-based

Pubertal Height Growth and Adult Height in Cystic Fibrosis After Newborn Screening [PDF]
Pediatrics, 2016 BACKGROUND:To examine long-term growth benefit of newborn screening (NBS), adolescent peak height velocity (PHV), and adult height were compared between the screened (diagnosed early via NBS) and the control (identified generally by symptoms) in the Wisconsin Randomized Clinical Trial.METHODS:Data from 107 children born in 1985–1994 and followed ...

Age of menarche and near adult height after long-term gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist treatment in girls with central precocious puberty [PDF]
Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2014 PurposeGonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) is known for improving final adult height in patients with central precocious puberty (CPP). This study aimed to investigate the age of menarche and near adult height in girls with CPP who had been ...

A century of trends in adult human height
eLife, 2016 Being taller is associated with enhanced longevity, and higher education and earnings. We reanalysed 1472 population-based studies, with measurement of height on more than 18.6 million participants to estimate mean height for people born between 1896 and

Validation of central peak height method for final adult height predictions on long leg radiographs [PDF]
Bone & Joint Open, 2023 Aims: Accurate skeletal age and final adult height prediction methods in paediatric orthopaedics are crucial for determining optimal timing of growth-guiding interventions and minimizing complications in treatments of various conditions. This study aimed
