Multifactorial analysis of a mixed-longitudinal sample of Indian siblings: Age and sex effects on heritability
References for growth and pubertal development from birth to 21 years in Flanders, Belgium
The ongoing secular trend in height and weight makes growth charts previously used in Belgium obsolete. New representative charts for growth and pubertal development are introduced. For weight monitoring, it is advised that the now-available BMI growth charts are used

Heritability variations of morphometric traits in West Bengal (India) children aged 4–19 years: A mixed-longitudinal growth study
These results confirmed the existence of age-related trends in heritability of the considered morphometric traits. The sharp decline of the heritabilities at adolescence in most of the morphometric traits, and the acromio-iliac index in particular, may be due to the large inter-individual variation in the age at which the adolescent growth spurt is reached in both sexes
Age trends of sibling resemblance for height, weight and BMI during growth in a mixed longitudinal sample from Sarsuna-Barisha, India
The study confirms the effect of age on the degree of similarity among siblings for height, weight and BMI in the sample. The sharp decline of correlation at adolescence can be interpreted in terms of the individual variation in age of reaching the adolescent growth spurt
Longitudinal study on growth in height in Polish boys and girls
Physical growth and development of children, determined by endogenous factors (genetic and paragenetic) is modified by numerous exogenic ones. This affects differentiation of ways of growth in individual children.In order to estimate the individual growth patterns and changes in growth rate as well as differences in growth of boys and girls, one must observe the process of growth of the same children and over a period of many years (longitudinal …

Sex differences in height and sitting height in the Belgian population
Sex differences in growth were studied in a longitudinal study of 39 boys and 31 girls for sitting height. Individual growth patterns were determined by means of Preece Baines model 1. The results showed no significant bias in the fits of height and sitting height in boys and girls. Girls fits were significantly better than those of the boys for both height and sitting height. Univariate analysis by means of Mann-Whitney test showed significant s…
Genetic variance in the pattern of the growth curve for height: A longitudinal analysis of male twins
Genetic aspects of the pattern of growth and of short-term variations in growth velocity for height were studied in a sample of 44 MZ and 42 DZ twin pairs from the Wroclaw Longitudinal Twin Study. The data consists of serial measurements of height, taken between 8.5 years of age and adulthood. The intra-pair resemblance of the pattern of attained height was quantified by means of the average Euclidean distance coefficient and the coefficient of s…
Skeletal maturity at onset of the adolescent growth spurt and at peak velocity for growth in height: A threshold effect
In 191 Polish boys of the Wroclaw Growth Study, the relationship between skeletal age and chronological age was examined at the onset of the adolescent growth spurt (take-off) and at peak velocity of height growth (PHV). It was found that, at PHV, skeletal age is markedly less variable than is chronological age, but at take-off no such reduction in variability is visible. The following interpretation of this finding is proposed. The onset of the …

Heights and weights of Swedish school children born in 1955 and 1967
Samples of Swedish school children born in 1955 and 1967 were compared regarding average heights and weights from 10-15 years. The main findings were that both boys and girls had been gaining more weight than height, especially around the ages at which peak velocity generally occurs. Since the advantage in height of children born in 1967 gradually diminishes after age at peak height velocity, it seems that the height difference during puberty mai…
Growth retardation in weight and catch-up growth following infection by measles and whooping cough among babies of rural Zaire (Lake Tumba)
This study has shown that measles and whooping cough affect growth in weight among babies of rural Zaire (Lake Tumba). The average loss in weight due to measles, is more than twice the amount due to whooping cough. However, the time needed to regain the original growth channel after infection by measles, is about half the time needed to fully catch up after whooping cough. The amount of weight loss is proportional to the child's weight at the ons…

Comparison of biometric data of children with high and low levels of lead in the blood
This paper deals with a biometric study of 312 boys and girls, aged 2.5–16 years, living in an area with a long history of pollution by lead. The aim was to search for eventual relationships between ten biometric variables and measures of lead absorption in the bodies, i.e. the amount of lead in the blood (PbB), of these children. Standardized values of the biometric variables were compared in the high‐PbB and low‐PbB categories, by multivariate …
Seasonal variation in the growth rate of weight in African babies, aged 0 to 4 years
Seasonal variation in growth rate of weight of 4,030 Ntomba babies (Lake Tumba, Zaire), aged 0 to 4 years was analysed in relation to sex, age and caste differences. The data were collected between mid‐August, 1977, and May, 1980, during a longitudinal survey and consisted of 34,470 measurements of body weight. The actual analysis is based on mean standardized weight increments, calculated over three monthly intervals. The growth rate in weight o…
Testing for the presence of genetic variance in factors of face measurements of Belgian twins
Factor analysis with VARIMAX rotation was used to analyse 15 face measurements in Belgian same-sexed twins, aged 18-25 years: 39 dizygotic and 57 monozygotic male pairs and 42 dizygotic and 67 monozygotic female paris. According to Christian's model, we used the ratio of the within-mean squares of dizygotic and monozygotic pairs to test for the presence of a genetic component in the variance of the facial dimensions and of all the rotated factors…
Longitudinal analysis of growth of children exposed to heavy metals
Degree of resemblance of the pattern of growth among sibs in families of West Bengal (India)
The Preece-Baines Model 1 curve has been fitted to longitudinal data on growth in height of 105 boys and girls in 70 Bengal families: 60 of these were sibs distributed in 25 families. For a number of growth characteristics, such as age at peak height velocity, the proportion of the total population variance that was due to variation between, as opposed to within, families was estimated by Smith's (1980) method. The proportions for age at take-off…
A comparative study of the fit of four different functions to longitudinal data of growth in height of Belgian girls
We have fitted Preece-Baines model 1, double logistic, logistic and Gompertz functions to longitudinal data on the growth in height of 35 Belgian girls, followed from birth to 18.0 years. The Preece-Baines model 1 showed significantly lower residual mean squares than the double logistic function, when fitted to data beyond the age of 1.0 year. The former model was also most robust towards variations in the lower age bound by the subject's data se…
