Relationship between adult stature and timing of the pubertal growth spurt

American Journal of Human Biology, 1996
Various literature report that little or no correlation exists between adult stature (AS) and the timing of the pubertal growth spurt in stature. No direct linear relationship between AS and age at peak height velocity (PHV) was evident in the Hiroshima Growth Study sample.

The pubertal spurt: effects of sex steroids on growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor I [PDF]

open access: possibleEuropean Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1997
In puberty, the growth spurt and the appearance of secondary sex characteristics occur concomitantly with an increase of sex steroids, growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). A number of experiments indicate that sex steroids exert a stimulatory action on the somatotropic axis.

Prediction of the pubertal growth spurt by measurement of standing height

The European Journal of Orthodontics, 1983
A method of predicting the onset of pubertal growth spurt is described. It is based on growth records of 105 children and requires the routine measurement of standing height. The method identifies a point in a patient's development which anticipates the occurrence of the peak in height velocity.

Growth and pubertal growth spurt in dysmorphic syndromes.

Journal of pediatric endocrinology & metabolism : JPEM, 2003
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 to overgrowth (ODS).

Body composition trajectories into adolescence according to age at pubertal growth spurt

American Journal of Human Biology, 2010
AbstractObjective: To investigate whether the development of body composition into adolescence differs among children with an early, average, or late pubertal growth spurt (age at take‐off [ATO]).Methods: Mixed‐effect polynomial models were applied to serial anthropometric measurements spanning from 4 years before to 4 years after ATO in 215 DONALD ...

Excessive infantile growth and early pubertal growth spurt: Typical features in patients with aspartylglycosaminuria

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1999
Rapid infantile growth was the first clinical sign in patients (n = 51) with aspartylglycosaminuria, a lysosomal storage disorder. Even if young children with aspartylglycosaminuria were tall for their age, an early but weak pubertal growth spurt in both sexes resulted in reduced adult heights.

Slow Prepubertal Linear Growth but Early Pubertal Growth Spurt in Patients With Shunted Hydrocephalus

Pediatrics, 1995
Objective. To evaluate growth and to compare anthropometric measures and the degree of physical maturation in children with shunted hydrocephalus with those in healthy children. Methods. One hundred fourteen patients (62 male) and 73 healthy subjects (38 male) 5 to 20 years of age were analyzed for growth data and current auxology, stage

Sex Steroids, Growth Hormone, Leptin and the Pubertal Growth Spurt

2009
A normal rate for the linear growth of a child or adolescent is a strong statement for the good general health of that child. Normal growth during childhood is primarily dependent on adequate nutrition, an adequate psychosocial environment, the absence of disease and adequate amounts thyroid hormone and growth hormone (and its downstream product, IGF-1)

Pubertal growth spurt is not universal: Polymorphism in growth at adolescence and its possible origin

2023
Abstract Objectives Numerous studies of child growth conducted in industrialised countries showed presence of the phenomenon of the adolescent growth spurt to the extent that its presence became a dogma applied to humans as a species.
