Skeletal Maturation and Predicted Adult Height in Children With Premature Adrenarche

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2014
Premature adrenarche (PA) may be associated with obesity and advanced bone age. Our objective was to determine if children with PA had a predicted adult height less than target height.A retrospective chart review identified 100 children originating predominantly from South and Central America and the Caribbean region previously diagnosed with PA from ...

Predicting adult height from a child's current height

BMJ, 2011
The physical examination of infants, children, and adolescents includes the measurement of weight and longitudinal growth (supine length or body stature), and plotting these measurements on growth charts is regarded as a useful tool for detecting health disorders. Growth charts are used for almost every child seen in primary or secondary care. Abnormal

The Multiplier Method for Prediction of Adult Height

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2004
The authors propose the "height multiplier method," a new, simple, universal method to predict adult height. The authors calculated age- and gender-specific height multiplier values and validated their use for height prediction. Average height multiplier values (M) for boys and girls were calculated by dividing height at skeletal maturity (Htm) by ...

Prediction of adult height in healthy Japanese children

Acta Paediatrica, 1996
Longitudinal records from 13,707 children (6749 boys and 6958 girls), aged 6–17 years, were fitted by a smoothing cubic spline function, and the factors influencing changes in height SD score (SDS) during puberty were analysed. Height SDS at 6 years correlated closely with final height SDS.

Multiplier Method for Prediction of Adult Height in Patients with Achondroplasia

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2005
To date, the only way to predict adult height in achondroplastic dwarves has been to consult a growth chart. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether the multiplier method of predicting adult height at skeletal maturity in healthy persons can be applied to persons with achondroplasia. Previous studies have shown that the multiplier method can

Prediction of adult height using maturity-based cumulative height velocity curves

The Journal of Pediatrics, 2005
To validate and demonstrate how adult height can be predicted by using reference values obtained from maturity and sex-specific cumulative height velocity curves.Serial height measurements were taken on 224 boys and 120 girls. Individuals were classified as early, average, or late maturers, depending on their age of peak height velocity.

PREDICTION OF ADULT HEIGHT WITH VARIOUS METHODS IN FINNISH CHILDREN

Acta Paediatrica, 1979
Abstract. Successive height predictions were made by several methods for a group of healthy Finnish children (30 boys and 30 girls), examined annually at ages of 7 to 17 years (1st series) and for 7 boys aged 14 to 19 years with familial delayed growth and puberty (2nd series).

Bayley-Pinneau method of height prediction in girls with central precocious puberty: Correlation with adult height

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1995
One of the sequelae of idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) can be short adult stature. In this retrospective study adult height was normal in 90% of girls with untreated ICPP (mean, 161.4 +/- 7.7 cm). The height prediction made at the time of initial examination and the height age correlated with adult height.
