SITAR-d: extending the SITAR growth curve model to allow for variability in post-pubertal velocity
Annals of Human BiologyBackground The SITAR growth curve model with its three random effects is useful for summarising height growth in individuals and groups. However SITAR performs less well for weight which unlike height continues to change post-puberty.Aim To describe ...

Patterns of linear growth among children and adolescents living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy in Zimbabwe and Zambia [PDF]
BMC Infectious DiseasesBackground Adolescents with HIV (AWH) frequently exhibit impaired growth, which manifests as stunting and wasting. We studied trajectories in leg-length (appendicular), sitting (axial), and standing height among AWH on antiretroviral therapy (ART ...
