Growth in height and weight

1998
Abstract The human ovum measures about 100 µ,m in diameter, and is just visible to the naked eye. At birth, a baby is about 50 cm (20 in) long-roughly 5000 times as long as the ovum. Further growth in height after birth may take the adult to a height of (say) 175 cm (5 ft 9 in)-three and a half times the length of the baby.

Height–height correlations for surface growth on percolation networks

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2010
Abstract The height–height correlations of the surface growth for equilibrium and nonequilibrium restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) model were investigated on randomly diluted lattices, i.e., on infinite percolation networks. It was found that the correlation function calculated over the chemical distances reflected the dynamics better than that ...

Anomaly of the height-height correlation functions in self-flattening surface growth

Physical Review E, 2003
By Monte Carlo simulations and scaling theories, we consider the height-height correlation function G(r,t;L) of the one-dimensional equilibrium self-flattening surface growths, where the deposition (evaporation) attempt only at the globally highest (lowest) site is suppressed.

Final height and predicted height in boys with untreated constitutional growth delay

European Journal of Pediatrics, 1995
We report on 49 boys with constitutional growth delay (CGD) who were initially seen in our clinic at a mean chronological age of 13.3 years (range, 7.3-16.4) and a bone age of 11.1 years (range, 6.0-13.5). All were below the 5th height percentile for chronological age.

Final height and intrauterine growth retardation

Annales d'Endocrinologie, 2017
Approximately 10% of small for gestational age (SGA) children maintain a small body size throughout childhood and often into adult life with a decreased pubertal spurt. Growth hormone (GH) therapy increases short-term growth in a dose-dependent manner and adult height had now been well documented.

Fundal Height Growth in Rural Africa

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1986
Gestational age was assessed by ultrasound examination before the 22nd week of pregnancy in 118 Ethiopian women. Their pregnancies were monitored by taking symphysis‐fundus measurements. 114 gave birth in the 37th week or later and their record were incorporated in the project.

The importance of height velocity in growth monitoring

Acta Paediatrica
Monitoring height is an important aspect of assessing a child's growth. An important goal of height monitoring is to identify, at an early stage, genetic disorders, diseases or other growth-related conditions.1 A systematic review indicated that height screening programs are useful and cost-effective, as they increase the detection of height-related ...

Growth spurt for height genetics

Science, 2020
By tallying thousands of genetic variants, researchers account for height's remaining "missing heritability."

On the insensitivity of height growth to spacing

Forest Ecology and Management, 1985
Abstract The commonly observed insensitivity of height growth of conifers to tree spacing is explicable in terms of source-sink physiology. The contrasting behavior of apical and cambial meristems, with regard to their responses to spacing, can also be explained by differences in their sink strength and growth phenology.
