Genetically-Predicted Adult Height and Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]

Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, 2017
Background: Observational studies have linked increased adult height with better cognitive performance and reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It is unclear whether the associations are due to shared biological processes that influence height and AD or due to confounding by early life exposures or ...

A chart to predict adult height from a child's current height

Annals of Human Biology, 2011
A child's adult height is commonly predicted using their target height, based on mid-parent height. However, if no growth disorder is suspected, the child's current height is a far better predictor of their adult height.To develop a chart to predict a child's adult height from their current height, adjusting for regression to the mean.Data from the ...

Cross-validation of the Beunen–Malina method to predict adult height [PDF]

Annals of Human Biology, 2009
The purpose of this study was to cross-validate the Beunen-Malina method for non-invasive prediction of adult height. Three hundred and eight boys aged 13, 14, 15 and 16 years from the Madeira Growth Study were observed at annual intervals in 1996, 1997 and 1998 and re-measured 7-8 years later.

Prediction of adult height in girls: The Beunen-Malina-Freitas method [PDF]

Journal of Sports Sciences, 2011
The purpose of this study was to validate and cross-validate the Beunen-Malina-Freitas method for non-invasive prediction of adult height in girls. A sample of 420 girls aged 10-15 years from the Madeira Growth Study were measured at yearly intervals and then 8 years later.

Applicability of a novel mathematical model for the prediction of adult height and age at menarche in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty

Clinics, 2018
OBJECTIVES: Unfavorable predicted adult height and psychosocial inadequacy represent parameters used to guide therapeutic intervention in girls with central precocious puberty. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog is the first-line treatment. The aim of
